My Piece of the Reef 135 gallon Reef Aquarium
After two days of settling into our new apartment nestled in the Throggs Neck section of the Bronx. My wife gave me the okay to spoil myself for a job well done during the move. The First order of business would be my Reef Aquarium but in a very large 2 bedroom apartment a 45 gallon aquarium seemed just too little..... after all I was spoiling myself.
Well I realized that if I wanted a bigger tank I would definitely require a way to get it back home and I was already in the market for a family vehicle with my first born on the way in November 2007. So I went and purchased a Honda Element 4WD EX Sport Utility Vehicle. A great buy for $25,000.00 Then off to the local fish store to purchase the aquarium.

My goal with this Reef Aquarium setup was to provide the best possible setup by focusing on patience, knowledge, and cost effectiveness to ensure an environement that would provide my aquatic buddies the with ability to thrive and not just survive! I have always been an impatient Reef Keeper but lately things have changed in my life that allow me to understand a very known phrase to use here in the
Talking Reef, "Nothing Good Happens Fast!" Rob. Below are some photographs of what the setup looked like on June 17, 2007. I will get into more detail in later post to this thread.
