not new, but hello!

Hey, not new the the hobby or this forum, it has just been a LONG time. I used to moderate 2 forums and was an active member for many before I went for a 6 month trek from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail. When I came back, I was busy with work and school and became a non active member. All of the pictures below are 3-4 years old. Now about the tanks I have...

I have a 90g display with a 40g breeder plant tank with a 5.5" DSB and a 20g sump, all under one system. I do not run a skimmer since my plant tank does the whole natural filtration thing... I will take some pictures when I get home later and post them on here. I currently only have 3 fish, a osc clown which I have had for almost 7 ears, and 2 blue green chromis. I also have loads of coral, too many to name at this exact moment.

I built my own stand and got about half way through the canopy until I got side tracked, but plan on finishing it soon...hopefully.

Here are some pics of my tank when I first built it. I transferred everything from a 55g to a 90g.

Here you can see how I drilled the tank. Also, the partially built canopy.

Here are a few pictures of the coral I have....when they were in my 55g tank.

Here are a few pictures of my plant tank:

Here is a picture of me at the end of the appalachian trail. I started in GA on 3-29-09 and finished 9-9-09. I am in the center with the red beard.

Everything in the tanks has grown SO much since these pics were taken and I will try to get new pics up in the next day or two.

Impressive growth...and I do mean the beard

e_baer · 09/16/2011, 05:57 PM

thank you rogermccray haha. I should have stated more clearly that I am the one on the top center with the red beard.

I will take pictures tomorrow and post them here. I am actually thinking about selling everything since I have been busy with school and work and have been neglecting the tank more than I should have. I started about 7 years ago in the hobby when I was only 15 and have loved it ever since, but I think I need to let them go

As promised, here are some more pictures of my tank how it currently is. Sorry, my camera is not the best in the world.
