How about a paludarium, I've always wanted to set up one. It could look pretty awesome with a corner tank

I feel sick participating in any of this discussion but holy crap that light through the hole in the rock ceiling look is AMAZING!

Good luck Lance!

For anyone interested a spot may become available on my friends list in the near future.

Yesterday I put some mysis in and the pipefish got it then the yasha zipped out and tried to grab it from the pipefish but the pipefish held onto it. Then the yasha realized there was more mysis and he grabbed another piece of it. Was hilarious to watch, wish I had my camera ready to capture the moment.

The 90 is kind of a tweener size. Too small for big fish and too large for little fish or seahorses.
I like your idea Laurie but I really like the corner tank and don't want to give it up. I'll keep tossing ideas around and maybe even ask the wife's opinion............WOW, that will be a first!

Maybe have her look down the 'idea pipe' and see what comes (out) of it?

+1 Although that paludarium thingy above looks pretty wicked

I say go with Lauries idea, downgrade and do gobies and smaller fish. They're fun

Oh oh. Starting to show a little SW snobishness! That will open up a spot on my friend's list for someone who is already famous and not just "soon enough".
