It's depressing seeing every third thread lately being about scammers and what not, so I thought I'd try to lighten things up. One of my favorite things about reefing is seeing and talking about other people's tanks. There are a few people on this site that have build threads, but it seems like the vast majority don't. I was thinking it would be cool if anyone that wanted to, would introduce themselves and a little about their tank (of course including a few pictures). This would allow people to put a "tank to the name" and create a little achieve of sorts for the members on this site. In addition to letting people see that you're a real person with a tank and not some lousy scammer. It doesn't matter how big or small the tank is, if it's a frag tank or maybe not even built yet. Let's see or hear about it! I'll start off with my tank and just add your profile after that.
