I agree. I'm bad at cramming a tank full of rock because I always have so many beautiful pieces to choose from.]]> Sat, 20 Nov 2010 19:20:43 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44850&PID=386301&title=my-first-tank#386301 <![CDATA[My First Tank : Looks great. the only thing i...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44850&PID=386258&title=my-first-tank#386258 Author: SGH360

Rock arrangements and coral selection I guess. I have actually been trying to pin down what it is that makes me say wow in other tanks. I guess that is the question I need to answer ehh.

What is it about other tanks that make you say wow? Your wow and my wow may be 2 different things.

I also think a lot of us look at our tanks and say.... meh, could be better. When our tank looks awesome to someone else. ]]> Sat, 20 Nov 2010 12:56:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44850&PID=386255&title=my-first-tank#386255 <![CDATA[My First Tank : it takes time its still a baby...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=44850&PID=386252&title=my-first-tank#386252 Author: kay181

I am frustrated with my tank. I feel it is _okay_. I was wondering ifanyone had any constructive criticism. I look at other tanks and saywow. I look at my tank and say meh. I want my tank to look _wow_. Anysuggestions would be great.

Hello All,

My name is Brandon. I have been in this hobby for nearly a year now. Ihave learned tons and have much much more to learn. I have a lot of funand it is very rewarding.

Here are a few crummy pics I snapped with my old 6.0MP Kodak. It is a90GAL with a sump/refuge I built, along with the custom double U opensurface skimming siphon I built. I have a HOB octopus skimmer and~240lbs of live rock in the tank. Things are looking better every week.Over the past 2-3 weeks the GBTA I bought several months ago is finallygetting its color back and looking awesome. I still have a ways to goon the RBTA's. I will try to snap some pics of the GBTA because itlooks 10x better than these pics. Anyway, enjoy.
