Just recently upgraded to an Oceanic 156 gallon that I purchased from a member here. My previous tank was a 75g that I kept for a few years -->
http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum/tank-threads/49811-lazibonezs-75g-reef-tank.html , everything were thriving until something wrong happened, I suspected it was the cheap pump that I been using to do my waterchange with, because I found out later it had a fine print that saids "for freshwater only" doh!. Lost 99% of my SPS, lots of LPS, but surprisingly my softies and zoa did well through this ordeal. Figured it was a good time to upgrade, and I always wanted a 5 feet tank, couldnt pass up on the deal when a member was selling it. I am glad that I upgraded to this tank. It has been 2 months up and running. Special thanks to Tito, Lucidheights, Joemac who helped me bring this heavy a$$ tank into the house, Harry for redoing the canopy, and Widdy for helping me with my DIY Led project.

Fantastic! I see this tank every few weeks... it is truly awe inspiring EVERY single time I see it! I'm positive you'll get it back to its former glory, only this time you have a lot more real estate to grow more "Holy Crap! That's some nice corals!". Keep up the great work! I'll be by this weekend, again :eek:

TOTM candidate! :teeth:<i'll be="" back="" this="" weekend="" to="" see="" it="" again=""></i'll>
