Wow, that's beautiful. I've always wanted a salt water tank but travel so much I'm afraid I'd come home to a disaster. Thanks for sharing.

I found Nemo...I found Nemo :) :) ;D :D ;D. Very nice tank you have their Kiros. I had a freshwater tank at home, but the goldfish died. Looks like you take great care of Nemo and his friends.

Re: My Other Hobby

I'm still trying to convince my wife we should convert our 55 gallon fresh tank into a salt tank but she said she doesn't want the additional work, I'll keep trying

My tank was freshwater until May of last year, when I finally decided to take the plunge into saltwater. It requires quite a bit of extra care, but it is definitely worth it. One of the only downsides is that it's inhabitants are 10 times the price of freshwater fish.

HAHA fat chance bud. I am itching for this weather to settle down so I can head to the site and take some pictures. I heard it's supposed to hit 47 degrees on Monday, so hopefully next week I will make it out there.

It's interesting that you said that, because this tank is my new television. There is so much going on, it's easy to sit and watch it for a while.

Re: My Other Hobby

the fish may cost more, but their beauty makes up for that easily

Had some oscars and a dempsey that got up to around 11 or 12 inches. Wish I still had them, I swear those fish had personalities!

That has to be one of the nicest Salt tanks I've seen!!!!!!
