Eric's 220 project

First off I have been in the hobby for a while. (still alot to learn.)

Right now I have a 75 gallon..Hmm thinks it should still link below my post.
This is what it use to look like before the move into the new house. SAD!! I had the wifes parents look after it.
NOT there fault, I should have instucted them what to do

ANYWAY all can be replaced.

Pics of the old tank.
Well it used to look good.







Now the reality
