Well, this is somewhat of a journey through the time of my tank. From wen I wasnt very knowledged to today. This is just wen I put the 50 pounds of stolen rock from the caymens in there. LOL, I actually wouldnt consider it stealing, more like taking from the ocean. Just like one would take a rock from the meadow...:thinking: . You have no idea how many blue legs sprang out of this rock...

This is the point where I got a wet dry and a UV sterilizer, and hoses running everywhere. Things were getting better, tank was maturing. I thought the hoses were cool, but now they are just UGLY.

A lil while after THAT, I decided to redo the rocks, and make it into a more "reeflike" type setup, lol. It wa just like a MOUND of rocks, no swimways or anything.

This is the point after, wen my tank literally "crashed". Power outtage, wet dry flooded. Terrible mess. Luckily insurance paid for my parents to redo all the carpeting in the house.
. As much as they wanted to pretend they were mad, they knew they wanted that new carpeting.... I bought a pvc section and built my rocks nicely around it. I also got a background, thanx to the helpfullness of Dustin.

This is today. I made a very nice rock formation on the right, The whole side is one huge cave. The left side is also my Lionfish, Nick's, favorite spot. It is a nice lil "grotto" in the "playfish mansion"
. I made a nice swimming area for my fishies finally:D

No anemone. Lisa from fish store is very lucky lisa. I have had them, and they just shrivel up and go BYEBYE. I feed em, nurture em, keep em in good water. I had a huge BROWN bubble tip once. It began to shrivel, turned whitish, didnt open as mcuh. Then it split, but didnt split right, then died. I dont need one anyway, they arent that great. O, and I took rock from the ocean:D . OOPsies.

hes going to a diving place where you are aloud to take stuff b/c they put it there and they own the beach. You have to pay to dive but you can take fish, corals, rocks, stars, and tons of stuff. He said the last time he went there were just ugly black fish.

Bet u dont have a cool dad like that.

perhaps it's a joke.. but i don't think it's very funny that you say "but you don't have a cool dad like that" just not the way it should go
but anyway nioce tank, allthough i do think it's slightly overstocked
