what up homies...well took 15 months off from the hobby and couldn't go any further without salt in my life. Picked up this tank from a local reefer awesome tank to get me started and im just looking foward to see you all again.

Starting by repainting the stand and also going to color match the maxspect razor leds....http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/14/c5cb648a094f04398db843a3e56a2b0c.jpg
