I just stumbled across these pics of my first reef tank (circa 2006). It was a 15g tank that I drilled and then built an overflow box into it. I used a 150w 20K HQI and 2x actinic T8 VHO fluorescent bulbs. I ran a 1/10HP chiller on it as well as a 25W UV and the skimmer was a Deltec TS1250. I may have overbuilt it. 😁 That tank was awesome. Don’t judge the photo quality. I’m pretty sure I had a 3 megapixel camera at the time 🤷🏻‍♂️ . . . #diamondaquatics #allmymoneygoestocoral #customaquarium #reef #reeftank #reefsofinstagram #fish #corals

Just finished up the new workstation. The coral room is finally starting to get organized. . . . #diamondaquatics #allmymoneygoestocoral #customaquarium #reef #reeftank #reefsofinstagram #fish #corals

While servicing a tank, a brand new @chemi_pure Elite Grande broke open while trying to dislodge it from its container. (~$50 waste) Enough to ruin anyone’s day. When I called to discuss it with the manufacturer, the customer service rep at @boydenterprises was great! He offered to replace the broken bag and send me some free samples of their newer ChemiPure Blue to offset the loss. Customer service is one of the most important aspects of running a business and they nailed it. Thanks @boydenterprises! . . . #diamondaquatics #allmymoneygoestocoral #customaquarium #reef #reeftank #reefsofinstagram #fish #corals
This tank has seen several disasters, like power outages, equipment failure and “user error”, but it’s still in great shape. The owner also refuses to use RO water but the corals still thrive. #bulletproof If you live in the New York metro area and you’ve always wanted an amazing aquarium, let @diamondaquatics build your dream.
