what drew you into marine tanks?

for me, it was the clams.. I saw a clam in a local's tank that sucked me in like a vortex.

For me it was a marine betta at one our local stores. Eventually I realized he wasn't the fish for me but I still love them.

For sure the FISH - hypnotic, dazzling, astounding, a stoner's dream.

I had been without a fish tank for many years when a guy I worked with told me he would sell me his complete saltwater system. I had no idea it was now so easy to keep marine fish, so I jumped at the chance!

after a visit to Sea World and Birch Aquarium at UCSD's Scripps Institute, they gave me the nudge to jump from fresh water to salt water.

before that we are just contend with cichlid and angels

very glad that the coversion took place
