Fastlight's 75gallon first saltwater tank

[MikMcgyver]

Naw, its mine...

 

[Fastlight]

Yeah his stand will look much better. Mine is just a basic stand and door. I dont have the patients for something of that magnitude.

 

[Piggy]

Any updated pics on your stand?

 

[fishbait]

great looking stand. that's the same design i used on mine. which by the way, i have never finished!

 

[Fastlight]

well, mine may not get finished either. Im have decided to join the marines. I have to save up every dime i get right now. But this hobby will always be in the back of my mind.

 

[yote]

Marines huh?
Hate that you'll have to give the hobby up for a while,But good luck with the Marines.

 

[Bifferwine]

Why did you make that decision?

 

[Piggy]

The Few The Proud The Marines. I just love their uniforms. Good Luck.

I'm Back! Man joining the United State Marine Corps has been the best decision ever! I love being a Marine and now that i have my training done (0331 Heavy machine gunner) and now back at home(im a reservist) I can get on with things. I said way back that id always have this hobby in the back of my mind. I cant wait to get started again. My stand is now ruined though. Got wrecked in my buddies basement during a flood. So now i gotta get a stand. Not sure if i wanna build one or buy one. I feel like im forgotten alot of what ive learned since ive been gone so while im buying the hardware itll give me time to build up my knowledge again. Cant wait to talk to you all again.

Semper Fi.
