| Advice: |
Do research, visit some people with reef aquariums, internet informaition, pics, emails to different hobbyist, videos on setups, read, ask questions if not sure, plan for the future(expansion of your corals and livestock) purchase what your tank needs, and don't try to cut corners especially with live stock and equipment like lights, skimmers, etc. Don't add what you don't test for, and do it from the heart, and not to impress. Respect the livestock and the livestock will reward you with their beauties. Careful water changes, and don't get too technical trying to make your tank automatic, otherwise you will rely on the equipment and never develope a relationship with your aquarium, and you won't notice when something is not right if you leave it up to the equipment. Pay attention, be patient, and respect LIFE!!!!!
Thanks to all who look and those who voted on this tank. Hopefully, anyone with an aquarium can be inspired by these beautiful life forms. As you can see, it is possible to maintain for prolong periods and counting. Please understand that in no way am I stating with my experiences with this aquarium that this is the only way or the best way. This is one way. Big or small, it will still require the disipline and careful planning, and initial expenses. All these tanks in this site have their beauty, and the people who have summitted their aquariums on this site, have their beauty in their hearts. Thanks the site owners for allowing us the priviledge to show and share our hearts on this wonderful site.
BLESS US ALL.....PEACE..... |

Our tank blew a seam and we had to replace it. It was a long weekend. I will put up pictures of the new one later. This was our 45 gallon 5-sided tank. It is neat you get different looks from each of the 3 sides you view. |

The work is worth the reward. once it's running it's not as much work. Tests are a must. |
| About Yourself: |
Had a tank 18 yrs. ago and could not keep it. Wife got this one for $60/w stand and we have been loving it since we set it up. Only running for 7 months but just love it. My 5 yr. old son is known at the fish store more then me. Great learning tool for everyone in the family. But it does not come cheap. the more you know the more it cost. But oh well it's worth it! |
| Advice: |
Lighting and filtration very important. Watch which animals you mix together in the tank. They won't all get along, learned the hard way. READ everyone says it and they mean it.
PLEASE take your time, it's hard because you want it to look nice, but it's very important to let the tank develop. My 5 yr. old son knows more about the tank then my wife. And watch for electrical faliures cost me $250 (dead fish)for a $20 part. |

Be very patient and expect everything to take much longer than you think it will. It is worth the time and effort it takes. Research everything you plan on doing with your tank, and never stop learning. |
