Retiring
 
I was looking at my tank tonight, and thinking this is where it began and where it is ending.
I have an 11 year old trigger, a nine year old butterfly, an awesome saddleback pair in a rose anemone, a cleaner shrimp that’s at least 2, and I look at this tank and can finally relax…and enjoy....
Hopefully my last set of bulbs installed this week, but you never know…

Nice! This is what we all strive for... balance and harmony and less work! :D

Deb, that is quite the accomplishment. Having livestock that long is a sure sign of an aquarist hobbyist that is dedicated to long term success. You are truely among the top aquarist. My many thanks to your dedication. I also have fish and corals exceeding 8,10. years old. Sometimes less is better. Regards Ken

Wow, congrats on keeping the fish alive well for that long. I hope that one day I can be as content on my tank as you are, right now I'm always thinking what to do next.
