As a kid my family raised freshwater fish and I liked them, but the first time I saw a saltwater tank I fell in love. It's a living photo, full of beauty. My friend gave me a 75 gallon tank the first week in July (it started leaking in November
) . I read so much I thought my head would fall off. Took so many notes I had to start a spreadsheet to keep track.
I did not even put water in until the end of August. My husband was ready to leave then. After over 25 years of marriage I was either on the computer, nose in a book or at That Fish Place( my second home).
Eight months later and I'm called the crazy fish lady. Up at all hours of the night (my age issues) and over 400 photos, which I show off like they were my children. I'm so addicted it scares me. My free tank has over $3,000.00 into it now, and I want to get an even larger tank. I guess I'm blessed, my husband's still here
, I still have my job (had to be home a few days with new arrivals), and there are still no men in white jackets at my door.
I wish I could have started this when I was younger. At least I started before grandchildren. I hope to have my dream tank before that.
Sorry for the small book, I just can't seem to stop when it comes to my saltwater tank. Proud mom of five species of fish, beautiful coral and worms and crabs.
But there is a reef in my room and I wake up to it every morning its soo relaxing to fall asleep and wake up next too. Girls like it too
