Those reefs are awsome. I got into this hobby as a way to bond with my 8 year old little girl. It's tuff for a dad to find something to do with their daughter. I have an offshore fishing boat but she's not into ocean fishing. We enjoy fishing together at the LFS. We have enjoyed that time together. I just never would of guessed this hobby was soo time consuming. It's a daily effort on both our parts. This is what we have been working on over the past year. I have more pictures of my live stock. But, no matter how I manipulate them I can't get them to post.

Offshore80 - what tasks do you involve your daughter with in this hobby. I have a 10 year old who really likes our tank, but aside from looking at it, she really doesn't have a role in it. I'd like to involve her more and maybe take care of her own tank someday.
Also - make your pics 500 by 500 pixels maximum size and they should post.

Very nice reef waterfaller... I envy all the reefs. They look so nice. I task my daughter to check the salinity of the tanks, Parameters, feeding & basic tank cleaning. When we go "fishing" for a new fish I have her pick a fish and study up on what it needs and whether or not it will do OK in our aggressive set-up. She studies all the fish in the marine atlas. so usually she's pretty good at knowing our limitations. Last week we were in the LFS and they had two Nurse sharks in a 125 gal tank the fish were about 2-1/2 feet long. She told the owner that he really needed to get a 1000 gallon tank for those monsters.
