OMG!!!!!! We FINALLY see the famous Tomitz aquarium.

The display tank, Maria, is AMAZING!!!! The infrastructure of the rest is mind blowing.

The Frag looks like a winner to me. 4 eyes already, love it!!!!

Now...really all the outside stuff you did yourself? Im not playing a Hillary Clinton here, did you really? Please tell me that awesome set up had some masculine help. LMAO :fun5::rollface:

Ha Ha Ha...Eddie, I feel like I'm in Kindergarten compared to you guys....lol
Yes, I did do everything myself
Although, I have to admit my husband did drill the holes thru the concrete wall for me and he does do some of the heavy lifting for me like dragging my salt buckets around back.

Soon enough ? 6 months is a long time! I'm more concerned about keeping it alive for 6 months than about how much it's going to grow....lol
And yes Jonny you are correct about the drilling.
I'm surprised you remembered that...lol

How can I not remember. I finally found someone crazy as me to drill multiple holes through a perfectly good wall. All in the name of reefing lol

Thanks Matt.... Right now I'm in the planning and doing my homework stage
of upgrading the tank. Nothing crazy just a tad larger to give me a little more depth. It will also give me the opportunity change some of the things that annoy me.

Food for thought Maria: I can see an EASY adjustment to that stuff outside to hook up an automatic water change system there. LMK if you need help with it, if interested.
