I've been out of the freshwater game so long...don't even know what the latest tricks are to keeping plants

Moved from Freshwater to salt back in 2002...and just kept growing. My reef requires a complete rebuild every 5 or 6 years, and each time I swear I'm going to downsize. Thing is...some of these fish are over 15 years old.

I have a full room dedicated to just the equipment to keep the thing running. And computers to tell me when anything goes wrong. More PITA than enjoyment at this point.

This is what I built in 2005 - and just keep adjusting with the rebuilds to change it up some.

That is pretty amazing! No doubt your time and effort is reflected in that serene and beautiful display. Is there any favorite coral for a close up?

The tank is all soft coral at the moment...compared to 2019, it's sad to look at now.

My favorite closeup was in anemone - not coral. I may have posted this a little while back. Both clowns died recently...had them for over 20 years.

Of the coral I had, this shot from inside the tank was one of my favorites.

Our in-laws have been staying with us for a few weeks now. Ginger loves it and spends most of the day with them. Winston, on the other hand, seems to have had enough and prefers to stay with me all day in my office.

Since I have a nano tank, my colorful and small options for fish are limited, though I make do. Clown fish are almost a mandatory with anemones, they just pair so well together. That’s a interesting perspective of the coral with the water reflection. Thanks for sharing 😀

Everyone said don't live close to the in-laws...but you know what, they go home at the end of the day

My daughter always brings her pup up here...one of mine will play with it for a while, but always seems to get his fill after an hour or so. Wifey thinks I'm nuts...but I think he's glad when his cousin leaves.

Our original (Patches) was rude about it. She'd be happy to see people when they arrived, but within an hour or two, she would either stare at them to ask them to leave or retire to the master bedroom to get away from the noise.

My dad made the mistake of sitting in my spot, which was her spot when I wasn’t there. She had her own set of rules and it was up to everyone else to figure them out and live by them.

My in-laws make an hour drive almost every weekend just to take their grand-dog (aka: OCD psycho dog) out for a day's adventure. He loves his grandma even more than his mommy, and the in-laws spend all week making plans for where they'll be going the next weekend.

I joke with my wife that her parents love the dog more than her and me, because they bolt for the door as soon as they drop him off when their adventure du jour is over.....

I'd like to say that is odd...but my wife's parents take my dogs every Wednesday, for no reason other than that once per week visit.

My pups are so spoiled.

Our in laws are loving the dogs and Ginger is really loving them. Nice to her, no rules and they make crumbs.

He looks stout. That looks like a cat NOT to be messed with. And the name fits imo.

Toughest looking cat here, so far.
