This isn't exactly then and now because the "now" picture was actually taken like 8 months ago, but about a month after taking the "now" pic I went on vacation for a week and the person I left in charge of my tank didn't take care of it at all and it looked like some one dropped a bomb in it when I got back.....Anyway The tank is stable now although pretty much everything in the pic besides the rock and a few other things are gone but if this thread is still around once I get some bucks to start stocking it again (hopefully very soon) I'll post some actual then and now pics.
