pics of then and now, exactly one year! The pics are actually in reverse order. This is a good example of what someone can do with a very finite budget. I'm not trying to blow my own horn too much but i feel i have a pretty successful tank so far without breaking the bank.
the bottom 80lbs is texas holey rock, I bought a lot of stuff used including the tank and stand off this forum, and just bought coral frags and one fish at a time. So if there is any one reading these threads thinking about getting into this hobby but blown away by the cost. Just remember to take it slow and use the resources on this forum.
p.s. my skimmer is made from rubbermaid containers
