    I thought this would be a cool way to see how your tank can evolve. My tank has been running for 15 months now. Lots of changes in equipment, livestock, and even completely rescaping a couple of times due to having to move the tank to add a sump, and after an awful battle with ich. I started sumpless and running a canister filter with Ecobak in it, with a HOB skimmer. Now I'm running a SWC 160 cone ina DIY sump, w/ an Avast Marine reactor, and recently added 2 MP40's. Frustration and Joy all wrapped up into one package. Enjoy!

    Very nice setup. My next tank will be either a 72 or a 90 bowfront.

    I like everything about the bowfront except for the height. 27" is just a little too high for me.

    Nice tank. Looks great seeing its evolution. Puts into perspective the growth you have had etc.
