Bella on a stump. She likes to feel tall sometimes.

And my little princess...

And I may have added a few guys to my tank - as I go through my 3rd major rebuild on this in 15 years.
For reference:
Clown Fish on the right I've had for 18+ years - were two of the first fish I bought
Yellow Tang on left, I've had for 16+ years.
Orange dwarf Angel in the middle top (and scopas swimming in the back) - 8 years come May

I'll leave the fishtank for another thread though.

I can't wait to get a new fish tank!

A few of our fishes.

Well...it's a love hate relationship. If you take the time and do the maintenance, it's rewarding. But stupid mistakes can cost you time and money. By time...I mean months to fully rebuild. By money...you can lose everything in weeks.

This tank I've had going for 15 years has been through 3 major rebuilds where I considered getting out. Main goal is to make all your maintenance easy...

Edit - thought I'd post what 'easy maintenance' is. You don't need this...but it sure makes your stay in this hobby easier. I have a new controller going in next in a few days. Last one shit the bed. $1000 lost in the old - $1200 just spent in the new.

This is the behind the scenes to my reef tank. I'll answer any questions...

Nice tank...any more pics?

It's funny how many people see my cav pup and think he's going to grow up to be your Bernese. I just tell them, yup, he's small for 11 days old, he walks nice on a leash and knows stuff already, but he's still got a lot of growing to do.

Our Black and Tan cav, Angus (who passed in 2018) looked in the mirror as a puppy and figured he must be a short hippy Rottweiler with long hair.

Panther # 2. His name is Squeeze. Getting ready to attack the red laser pointer. Also, trying out the new flash, black cats are otherwise like black blobs in low light pictures

Mine is just a 54 gal tank. No offense but your pics of the behind the scenes makes me think I am no where near ready for salt. I had no idea it took all that. Maybe I'll just do a 135gal fresh water tank.

Pic of more of my tank. We are finally ready to add more fish again after some illness. We lost about 10 fish due to ick. I have since installed a canister filter.

Her name is Bee. She needs a haircut. I need one too.

Cute cat! I had one that looked just like her. She was so small and had an awesome personality. Would catch birds like no other. Would run to my car every day when I got home just so I can pet her. One issue was her gnarly dreadlocks during summer, haha (ohh and the occasional poop getting stuck to her butt hair)

PoorLurker · 04-24-2020, 05:26 PM

I am looking for a pet. Think I might get a fish to put in a bowl.

I'd love to get a tortoise to just have chilling in the backyard but I am not sure I want to give my great great grandkids the responsibility.
