My changes are rather drastic

before: planted tank

after: reef tank very early stages at the moment, i will update this if the thread stays popular

 

[markandhisfish]

if i typed in here what i call everybody at work i would probably be banned

yep truck a slight change there lol strange thing with mine was as you can see in the old tank i could grow plants no bother but in the new 1 even before the sevs. forget it they just didnt wanna know. altho i have recently put some valis in which touch wood looks like it may actually grow.
