    Hi been lurking for a little while and posted some haha. But have yet to post any pictures of our tanks. My wife Amanda and I got into the hobby 4 years ago this coming August. We started with a 55 gal that was horrible lol, moved up to a 75 and 2 40b tied to a 30 gal sump, and now have a 120g and 90g soon to be tied into one system. And since Amanda keeps telling me she wants to sell coral I gotta put up a frag tank now lol. After the last round of cutting and 30-40 frags all over the bottom of the tank she thought was a good idea lol. But that's a work in progress! Any way here are some pictures, sorry for rambling just got off work second shift blah!

    All these are from our 90 under reefbrites 2 blues , 1 white. Some pics just blues

    Recent tank shot. Cups have yumas in them attaching to rocks

    The chalice in the back came from a fellow reefer and friend that passed away in July, it has recovered a lot from when I got it. I'm thinking of cutting it down into smaller frags hoping it recovers to its original glory

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Boy have a little of everything corals wise, so many to choose from. I really like the Fungia and the Frogspawn.

    Both tanks look great.

    Thanks for sharing.

    yes, both tanks looks great. The chalice will be a nice momento as it grows of your friend. Thanks for sharing and welcome to 3reef. Hope you post and visit more regularly. It's also great that you and your wife share the hobby! Usually, we're loners with our significant others in our obsession with our tanks :)
