My name is Allen. I have been a member for some time now but have never took the time to start a tank thread. I have a 90 gallon reef tank that I have had for about three years. I have had a fresh water tank and had a passion for fresh water angel fish and Africans since I was little. My father had always been in the hobby. After my roommates killed my fish from alcohol poisoning I am assuming....long story. I gave up on the hobby for some time. Then I started in the salt water hobby four years ago when my wife and I decided randomly one night at Bird World that I needed to get a salt water tank. Every time we went to the LFS I always wanted the salt water fish and corals. So we came home with a 29g BioCube. I have to be working on something and since I gave up Drag Racing after hitting the 1/4 at 10.68 seconds with a 628 WHP honda civic.





I needed something else to consume my time lol.

Here is some the pictures I have from my 29g Bio Cube.

My Dad had heart problems and couldn't take care of his 90 Gallon Reef Tank. So I was lucky enough to bring it to my house! Here are some pictures of when I first set it up.




I had a Zebra Eel for a few months...


Then the tank really starting looking good!












Then the tank started to look really bad..heater issues killed just about every coral I had...who knew that 90 degrees wasn't good for your tank? That's what you get for a cheap heater and a 9.99 coral life temp thing. Lesson learned next chapter.

I have gone on long enough so I will post a few pictures of the tank currently and add pictures of my corals and fish another night when I get some time. I have made some equipment and lighting upgrades. I have learned so much and love this hobby more and more everyday. I have really taken on a new interest in Acans and Acros this time around. I have pretty much started over with frags and small colonies. I still have my first two fish! My four plus year old clowns you saw in my 29g bio cube. I would love any feedback and/or questions about my tanks..I don't know everything but I feel now in this stage of Salt Water level I have passed the Beginner stage and moved on to Intermediate lol! I have many friends that I have met through WMAS! Oh I also have a 8g biocube that is home to two Kuda Sea Horses. I doubt anyone will read this entire thing but thanks for your time if you did! I will get pictures of my current fish and corals sometime soon!

Yes good old Court! He did have it at one point and time for a little while when I first got the new LS VTEC Engine put in.

I loved having my zebra...I do miss her but she knocked everything over stressed my powder blue and others to death..if I ever do an aggressive tank I would get one again or a Hawaiian dragon eel..reef wise I would suggest against it...they eat and poop a lot! I have videos of it eating if you are intrested lmk
