Where do I start... had a goldfish when I was a kid and then decided to get into aquariums later on when I got my first place (18). Started off with freshwater which got boring as all the fun fish required 250 + gallon aquariums. My only option was to save up and get into a reef tank which was originally what I always wanted. I've had a 55 gallon that turned into a 40 gallon that turned into a 50 gallon cube. The cube became such a great tank even with its ups and downs. My mother would come over for holiday dinners and would just stare and say WOW!! However she could never spend that kind of money to have one. So what better way than to just gift the entire set up to her which has been going great for the last few months. Reason for the gift was because I'm currently setting up a 150 gallon tank which I'm documenting to eventually turn into a build thread.
