Hi all, some of you know me most of you dont. For those of you that dont my name is John and im from Long Island. I have been on this site for about two and a half years now but have not posted a tank thread until now being that i never had a camera and just upgraded my phone to the iPhone which has a pretty good camera. I've kept fish fish since I was 5 (im 20 now) and ive had a reef for the past 5 years slowly working my way up from simple stuff to what i have now. I have three tanks: a 90 reef, 65 fish only and a 30 fresh but I will leave the fresh out of this thread. Some of the pics are before i re-did the tank but the main tank shot is the most recent being that i took it today. I have to give a bit of a shout out to my dad, I am a college student dorming away at St. Johns University and he does a pretty good job of taking care of all the tanks while I am away, possibly deserving more credit than i actually give him only being able to see them every 3-5 weeks pending when I come home.
