I have gotten fed up with rc and was reccomended by a friend to try reef sancuary. My boyfriend and i work at Rick's Reef in metairie louisiana, and we have 3 tanks between us. My tank is a 75g lps/brain dominated reef tank, his is a 90g sps domininated reef. I think his name on here and on rc is typo. We are also mods for the lareefclub.com forum. Anyway i'll begin with a slightly outdated pic of my 75. Once i get a new card reader i will post an updated pic.-_Lacie

taken july 20 (i've changed a few things since)
