For those of you who are new to the club and this forum this is a video of the 2011 FMAS Tank Hop so you get an idea what a Tank hop is, I think it is a wonderful event that brings all of us closer, enhances the hobby and help you with ideas of how other people approach reef keeping.
Incidentally, this video was the last year that I showed my tank as I brought my beloved tank down shortly after for health reasons, my new tank is up and running now and as with every new tank you try to correct all the little things that you wish you had done before, I haven't really shown it yet so this will be a first for me again, look forward to see you all.
