Before and after

Lamball1 · 04/07/2011, 01:51 AM

There should be a place on this website where people show their tanks when they just started and how it grew over time etc.

If there isn't, Post your pics here !

jer77 · 04/07/2011, 05:32 AM

I somewhat agree. People already do this, but it is drawn out over 100+ pages. Staying knowledgeable on RC requires good skim reading and sometimes even luck.

I'll give a time line from my nem's perspective. From a 20g, to a 55g, 75g to finally a 180.

And finally my rebuilt 180(still in progress)
