I saw a fox coral. And wanted it. So I started a tank, didn't know anything, figured it couldn't be THAT hard...and the addiction began. Besides my Discus and Threadfins, I can honestly say that I don't think I will ever have a freshwater tank again.

You mean you can buy and keep freshwater fish also?




Seriously though I have had fish for 27 years now (man I'm getting old!) started with the typical 10gal, had 16 tanks running at one time from 10 to 135 gallons all fresh, 16 years ago decided to try a salt tank, started with a 33gal upped to a 60 then to 77 then to 180 and finally at the current 300 (also have a 30 gal seahorse tank (soon to be 90gal corner) and a 15gal cube (fresh) Have worked off and on at the local fish shop for 20years.

Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo starring Rob Schneider. I had kept freshwater for several years before but when I saw the lionfish I new I had to go to salt.




Eh, it could have been worst. It could have been Finding Nemo.

"Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo"

What a masterful piece of cinematic art.

You have to admit though that the scene where Rob drinks the dirty tap water and pores the pure bottled water into his tank is painfully true of all of us and damn funny.

I have had various FW tanks for years but always was very interested in SW. every visit to the LFS I would look at the SW stock more than anything else. After about 6 trips to the Mayan Riviera , a lot of snorkeling & a bit of reef diving & I had to have a reef of my own to enjoy for the other 51 weeks of the year. I thought now that my kids were grown up I could finally afford this hobby (wrong)

1-72 gallon Bow front Reef tank
1-10 gallon SW fish only
1-33 gallon FW
1-empty wallet
