Remember when.....

[michael_cb_125]

Ah.....my first "real" reef. it was not my first tank, and I had others with coral previous to this one. But I consider this my first and best tank to date. I actually made the tank. My friend made the stand, and I pieced everything together.

Here are a few progression shots:

Thanx.
It kind of makes me sad to look back.......
Seeing the pics of Jose actually make me tear up
Gah...I am such a pansy
Sigh...I am actually crying
The things I tell you people....I must really LOCE you guys.

That was one of his favorite places. He was the tank look-out. It was so funny to watch him swim to the front of the tank from his post to look at me.
He was a great fish. Definitely not your typical BSJF.

Wow, that is a gorgeous tank. Great pics too. It's awesome to see how it progressed. The jawfish is (was) beautiful. I know I've been away for a while, but what happened to him? Any plans to get another?

That was a great trip down memory lane.
I always loced your tank Michael and we are all with you in missing Jose. He was a very special fish.
Those are some great pics and really show the tank well. Great full shots and awesome macros.
Thanks for sharing the trip through time.

Thanks everyone.
Teri- Jose was transfered to my 240. After a few months, he found a tiny little hole and jumped out.
I found him on the carpet, all dried up.
I actually Cried

But I am setting up a tank in my room, and I plan on adding a pair of Blue Spots.
