55G link in the Golden Chain celebrates 1 year

[goldenmean]

Octoman gave me the idea for this year long tribute last month when his tank turned 1 year old. Thanks Mark.

This is going to be a photo party showing the transition of my 55g tank as it matured. For my birthday last year I got the Package from Tampa Bay Saltwater. The first part of "The Package arrived on August 10th 2007.
The second part was delayed a bit as I had a vacation planned but it arrived 5 weeks later.

Thanks Blake & Lynn

I cant believe a whole year has gone by.

 

[Octoman]

Wow! I can't believe its been a year either! It is looking amazing after one year, great growth throughout the tank. And, you are the pinnacle of patience with your QT!

I like the kitty under the table in the last pic...

Thanks Mark.
Mimsy was wondering what I was doing with the camera in the stairway.

The QT has a Midas Blenny in it, The Bkenny has been there for 5 weeks now,
One more week to go and the tank will have its first fish.
Had I not lost two other fish in the QT I would have had a fish in the tank by month 8.

 

[lcstorc]

Some great growth there. Looks great.

Melusina I am looking forward to you getting your TBS package for your new tank and watching it progress.
