Tank transformations

[Fishman88888]

I think this forum is awesome

Some members have the most amazing tanks... And clearly it took years and years of experience or just a whole lot of effort to create the works of art - that are your tanks.

The professionalism of some of your tanks is inspiring.. I think it's hilarious watching ma fish guy on YouTube and him giving shoutouts to some of the users on this site... I know you guys are the real deal! I wouldn't go anywhere else for advice

I thought it would be cool to see where some of you guys started and where you've gone in the hobby

Maybe a little history in photos (before/after and everything in between)
I want to see your transformations and what's possible with more experience and knowledge... Inspire us!

Here is much older pictures of my 55. I'll try and post the most resent today. Wish I didn't delete the building of my 80...
Tell me what you think

Lol I can see you moved your tank

Was that a pain? I have to move in January to a new apartment... I'm already dreading it

And I want your volcano... That's probly one of the sweeter decorations I've seen on here ... Where'd you get it?

The 55 wasn't that bad 2 people can do it, but moving the 80 was a pain. And like I said these are older pictures I had to move again so now the wall is wooden looks so much better when I get home I'll be sure to post a picture

The first pic is when I had the whole driftwood thing going on. The second pic is current with different rock Work and live plants. Still have a few pieces of driftwood in there.

That's a nice setup. I like when people have good taste in decor... Yours looks so natural... i can see the fish feeling at home in there. I hate the tacky stuff you see everywhere. I think your tank layout looks better now, than the driftwood setup, it still looked amazing though. I'd be a happy fish in there

Thanks.

This is what the tank looks like right now still working on it though trying to give the fish a little more hiding places with some lava rocks or something
