I haven't really posted here before, in the blogs anyway but I have some time and some pictures so what the heck.
As some people already know, I set up my reef in 1971 and so far it is still running. Ug filter and all.
So I figured I would post a picture. It is a 100 gallon mixed reef with a few SPS but mostly LPS corals and about 20 fish. All of the rock I either collected myself or built from PVC pipe covered in cement.
I recently changed from MH to LED.

    No leaks yet. But this glass is only 35 years old. I started the tank in another tank and transfered everything including the water to a larger tank after five years.

    Do they not have recycling centers where your from :P
    Some of us recycle differently
