How Many Kinds of Tanks have you had?

[rykna]

I was curious to see, what kind of tanks each of us have tried. What we kept in them, and which one we liked the most.
For my tanks:
Reef Tank:
gonipora
acapora
zoos
mushrooms
percs
tang
mandrine
tiger star
urchins
sponges
crabs&snails
shrimp
LR
LS
Seahorse Tank:
Kuda
gorgonian
fire goby
snails
LR
LS
Dwarf Seahorse tank:
ponies
ds
dr
artificial plants
I have enjoyed all my tanks. The Reef was the easiest( I miss it). The Seahorse Kuda tank was the hardest(need another year in seahorse 101), and the Pony tank is my current favorite. I'm starting to feel I am actually getting the hang of things with the ponies and I'm able to enjoy the tank instead of worrying all the time.

My favorite by far to view is my Lagoon. It is a very natural system and the most relaxing saltwater setup I've had.

Ya know, I've never considered Seahorses but there is an area of the lagoon that would be perfect.
I'll have to give this some serious thought.

 

[rykna]

Awesome!!!

Can you post a pic of that corner please

 

[bang guy]

There's a high flow channel at the top of the pic that's surrounded by a cluster of algae. It's full of Amphipods because most of the fish don't go through the algae to get to the open area.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!! Seahorse topia!!!!! That would be soooo cool. With the lagoon it would be really easier to train the horses to take treats from your hand!!!!

ReefKeepers you lie, thats your GFs goldfish tank. I know this because if it was yours those goldfish would be lunch and their tank would be filled with frags.
