What drew you to SW aquariums

[Coralgurl]

Funny, Finding Nemo was a huge turn off for me keeping sw, actually felt guilty about the poor fish pulled from the ocean and put in a glass box, so I don't get the connection others have. My bf had a fw tank with an Oscar and pleckos in a 55 gl tank. He set it up around the same time we started dating and it followed when we moved in together. The Oscar died 2 years ago and the kids begged for a sw tank. He held off bec he knew how expensive they are to set up. Next spring and a tax return later, he bit the bullet and got started. I still didn't really care much for it, added some clowns and chromis. Meh, nice fish. Then one of the boys and I went to WAIS, bought some "nice" corals. They didn't do so well and that's when I got hooked. Had to figure out how to keep them alive. I should have known better, I can kill a cactus, what was I thinking with corals??Still have a lot to learn, my interest wanes here and there but now I love my fish, I love the accomplishments and the tenacity needed to keep going.
