just a little background, mostly a fish only guy from the 80s and 90s. Transplanted the FLORIDA in 87 and built my first DT in ‘87, 100 gallon with your basic canister and UV sterilizer, a handful of t8 twisted bulbs and UG filter. Raised clowns, tangs, damsels, emopoer angel and only lost a couple fish in 5 years/3 moves. Then the new house. In the wall 300 man it was awesome but if I knew then... well you know the story. But it was awesome. Filtration in the garage, bioballs in the tower, crude by today’s standards, protein skimmer, ato, the works. Really enjoyed it although I built it too y’tall to maintain well etc. still a pleasure and kept fish healthy and happy. Then the moving, so scaled back, kept my prized fish and went back to 75 free standing in a smaller house, then my shop. Began moving around a bunch and no time to properly maintain so gave the fish away and broke it down. Fast forward to today, in KY finally and settled so ... here goes.
