I finally got around to taking some new pictures of my fish tanks. Now I do not have the photo taking skills of some of our members, but enjoy nonetheless. This is my 90 gallon reef.

Finally these are a few pictures of my 125 gallon FOWLR. I built the stand for this as well. It is really just a facade as the tank sits on an iron stand. I am working on a similar build for the 90 gallon reef tank, but I do not have much time to spend on my amateur woodworking projects lately. Enjoy.

Thanks Dre. That is a supergirl monti that I got from Bob1000 a while back. Originally it was a little half inch dot on a frag disk. Now it is about as large as my hand. I need bigger tanks, lol.

dubs - Thanks. All the tanks are run seperatley from one another. They are all in my basement and I dont have the space for a dedicated filtration room. I wish I did because maintenance would be a ton easier. One big skimmer to clean, a few large reactors with carbon/gfo, and one place to do a large water change in is a dream of mine. Instead I have 3 skimmers and 6 reactors to clean, plus three tanks to drain and add water too. It is a lot of work but I have my maintenance down to a science now. lol.
Just added the clowns last week from Ocean Gallery. I got lucky, and they started hosting the amenone the second day in the tank. Probably the coolest thing to see.

Ryan- That anemone was in my 90 gallon originally. He just started taking up too much real estate and was stinging the hell out of everything around him so he was moved. Now he has a third of the tank to himself, and his new tenants. Thr trigger will have to go eventually. I assume that I have a few more months before he is relocated though as long as he behaves.
Now the 125 is my next major project. That is a queen, I also have a purple tang and zebra eel in there. It is screaming for an upgrade. My wife would have killed me though if I walked in with another giant fish tank before some major home repairs were done. So hopefully by the end of the summer I will have a new tank in the vicity of 240-300 gallons.

Thanks, I love that piece since it was one of the first corals I bought. It is encrusting, however, when it reached the end of the liverock it just continued to spread out flat instead of growing down the side of the liverock. So it overhangs the rock by an inch or so. I was thinking about just snapping a piece off and putting it on a flat rock in the 50 gallon, but I cant bring myself to frag it yet.
That starfish is just awesome!! I had some beautiful starfish in my FOWLR but I very reluctantly and very sadly had to get rid if them when I decided that I had to have copper in the tank because of repetitive parasite infections. Anyway, could you tell me where you got that starfish?

I bought that starfish from a LFS on Staten Island around two years ago. It really is a fantastic animal. Sometimes when he senses that I am feeding the tank he will climb up to the top of the tank and extend one of his arms back out of the water, waiting for me to give it food. It is like a dog waiting for scraps at the dinner table.
I will post some clearer pictures of it so you can get a better idea of what it looks like. I tried to identify it when I first bought him. If I recall correctly, it was an Atlantic species< but there was not a lot of info on it.

Thanks for posting that. It's a really stunning starfish. So, here are what were, once upon a time, mine...I wish they still were....
