Introduction
When I first started reef keeping with a small Nano tank in 2003, I did not realize how addictive this hobby would become. As my interest in reef keeping increased I progressed through three upgrades to my present mixed reef tank in 2009. I have developed this Album to share my interest and experiences with others. Also to thank my many helpers and other reef keepers whose assistance and knowledge was invaluable in building my present reef tank to date. I would like to thank my husband Robert (Frog) for helping with this tank upgrade and for his support over the years.
