A Grimey Reef upgade to 60G

[grimey]

First let me say sorry for not making this post sooner.

I started my reef with a 30G and soon realized that was not going to cut it for to long at all. (to many coral my eyes like)
so I started collecting equipment for a upgrade in about July of 2010 and finally had every thing to push the go button in January. knowing my son was about to be born any time it was now or never. so January 28 the upgrade happened.
