Hmm, overkill time.

Ok, so my big octogon tank has gone through many revisions throughout its years. Back and fourth with fresh water and marine. It's been around awile.
My goal has been to bring it back to its previous glory and it's been a battle.
No more fancy guppies or African cichlids for this tank. She gets special treatment now.

In my care it's been revised 6 times with its previous owner and 4 times with me.

I believe with my 5th revision she'll be purring like a kitten and won't need to be changed for a very long time.

Reef keeping is definetly the pinnacle of aquarium keeping and everyday new knowledge is gained.

The things you learn compared to freshwater is unparrallel and I am amazed the detail veteran hobbiests achieve making things look so easy but in reality using unnoticeable techniques aquired through many experiences they've acquired from the hardships they've overcome.
