The house I bought came with a 240. Previous owners said it was easy to take care of - just add some tap water now and then - and feed the fish which pretty much went like this

So I called a lfs and they said - we'll come over and take care of it - which turned out like this

While away one weekend the electicity went out and the tank did this

Turned the whole thing off for many months, then one day while recovering from a nasty fall I started googling saltwater tanks. Found a few sites, got some fabulous advice from great people and started rebuilding the original system. Then I decided the original system needed a fuge, so I replumbed the whole thing. Then I decided that the original 240 was too scratched and if I was spending this much time and $ the tank itself better look good!. So while I was replacing the 240 with a 300 I might as well add a 2nd fuge (90 gallon) and hey throw all the support equipment in the garage. And now after much

and

it's almost ready!!!
