Awesome pics everyone...keep them comin'!! Bronco, I LOVE xenias! I hope someday to have some of my own in my own tank (soon to be 55gal set-up) and am currently trying to talk MonaLisa into getting some! Beth ***)

My mom (MonaLisa) and I were on another SW forum this evening, and found an AWESOME thread...all peek-a-boo pics of your fish. Let's see 'em... here are some peek-a-boo pics of my mom's yellow watchman Goby, Gary... Beth ***)

Scuba diving, animals (dogs and horses mostly), and shopping!

I have been planning to set up my 55 gallon, but am also planning to go on a trip the middle of next month :jumping: . I am holding off on setting anything up until I get back. Are you planning a vacation in the near future? If you are thinking of what to do in the distant future, after your...

My mom ("MonaLisa") has a brittle star and for the most part he eats leftovers and "cleans up," but she also spot feeds him on occasion...some sort of frozen fish mix that she gets at the grocery store. Beth ***)

Sorry about your star, Mom. I'm sure it was nothing you did. Try not to feel too bad. I've been meaning to tell you...sweet avatar! Beth ***)

Originally Posted by MonaLisa OK, I'm back tracking here (with the posts). His central disk is totally unaffected, did you see that as well Beth. I'm not sure what his "common" name is, but he's a black brittle star? Also, I thought he looked kinda small...geez I can't find him. Lisa...

Hi Mom (and eveyone else)! I think that barnacle looks awesome. Something a little different. And BBB's little goby peeking out looks so cute! Reading about everyone's tanks makes me so ITCHY to start mine! :thinking: Beth ***)

I am still in the researching phase of setting up my 55 gallong tank and am also hoping to add a valentini puffer. I have heard and read different opinions about the compatibility of it with corals. Any opinions on this... Beth ***)

Hi everyone! I am new to saltwater and new to this board (although I have been reading on it for months). My mom has had her reef tank up for almost a year now and I have learned a lot from her. I plan to start cycling my 55 gallon in late March, but I wanted to know what you thought about...
