:cheer:
We have a pair of clowns(Nemo and Marlina), a Majestic Angel(Angel) a Foxface(Foxy) and a bunch of inverts.

We also have 2 kids(daughter 5 and son 9) and 1 Siberian Husky(Jossy looking for a playmate) :jumping: :jumping:

We did not know what we were getting in to but are now looking for a bigger tank for our little friends(I know we learned trough you guys that the tank is to small for the fish) so I guess we to are fishaholics

That Angel is awesome Susanne

My name is Ben , Ive been doing Saltwater for , 2 months now , I have a Mexican turbosnail(turbano) a Chocolate Chip Starfish(***hole) a Yellow Tang(Skittish) and a False Perc(aNEMOsis) and several blue legged hermits and snails that i call the minute men (im from Boston). So anyway I married at 22 to my lovely wife Sarah on March 6th 2004 , I am 23 now and I live in El Dorado Hills (Sacramento area just barely). I play Guitar , started out playing heavy metal and have worked my way into classic rock. (Still a die hard MetalHead though). I have been in 3 bands(Metal) and then decided i wanted to work on a side project which is mainly acoustic , I have my own home Digital Recording studio that *(beleive it or not)* cost more than my saltwater hobby! so its pretty nice. Anybody in the Sactown area that needs recording done (any type of music) let me know i dont charge alot. Lets see , My job , I am in Health Insurance for Blue Shield of CA , make pretty good money. I have a passion for Video Games on PS2 and ANY retro system , (You just cant touch Zelda on Nintendo , best game ever made) I would have to say that i am a big kid too Jenn , sometimes i want to take a visit to my elementary school and say hi to my teachers. I collect DVD's religously , i have a High-Def DLP (digital Light Processor) with a 9 foot Electric Motion Screen (watching Finding Nemo on that is Awesome) and I love to cook.
Anyway nice to meet all of you

oh yeah I have a 55 gallon , with a 44 gallon Refugium so in actualllity i have a 99 gallon

i like fish. i don't like them as much as i appear to be, sometimes.
if my fish bite me when i stick my hands in the tank, i hit them back.

Ben, my fav. zelda game is the windwaker! That game was phenomenal! My new fav. game right now is Disgaea. That game is the -($&! lol. I'm looking to get a projector & screen. I want the mitsubishi xd480u. It's also a DLP. Tell me, do you get the "rainbow effect" with your projector.
The DVD thing, my hubby is a major collector. Seems if he wants to watch it, he has to buy it, renting is out of the question...lol
Congrats on the marriage thing! It's great isn't it?

adjust the picture you wish to post to size that's no bigger than 500x500
save it where you can find it
post a new message, at the bottom there's an option to manage attachment
find the pic and click upload

Well happy belated birthday, jordan!
One big suggestion, don't get a scooter blenny unless you have a lot of LR, and a refugium. Although they are called blennies, the scooter blenny is really a dragonet, like the mandarinfish. They feed on copods, and therefore need a lot of LR to survive. If you only have LR in your tank, they will last for a few months, but then eventually eat out the copods and starve. This is why having a fuge for these guys is a must, because it is a neverending supply of copods.

ok, i'm going to try this picture thing...
1st one is me and the hubby, second is my dog (now at my parent's house)... i hope this works.
BTW, thanks!
Jenn
