Hi y'all, I am a new member and I have been an enthusiast for several years now. I have a 240g mixed reef tank that is my baby (only about two years old). I have some fish and frags. I am currently obsessed with zoas and palys, someone please save me from myself. It's like fish ****, my hubby keeps catching me ogling over various zoas. Haha!
I also have a homemade tv tank that I have had for years. My ex-boyfriend was helping his Grandfather move and I had always wanted to find a really cool old television and make it into a tank. Currently freshwater, but thinking about changing things up. It has an orange lobster, and has mostly become a snail tank. (to feed my puffers)
I had a 40g tall tank, but it was such a pain to take care of it! It was extremely tall and cleaning it was ridiculous! (picture the "sea snail" chick in Deuce Bigalow. if my husband said, "i want the one's from the colder tank" one more time...)
I also have a 180g marine tank in my bedroom. It's a puffer tank that I've had for several years. The copepods are amazingly out of control in the tank right now and I am ecstatic. If my puffer "Butters" wasn't in there I would totally have a non-agressive tank with mandarins, etc. I am about to get rid of my spiny burrfish puffer. I also had a gigantic mappa, but he got so big that I actually donated him to the aquarium at Fair Park! He came out of quarantine just in time for the Texas State Fair this year. He's in the Sea of Cortez exhibit. Yep, he's a celebrity now! About to give this tank to my husband so he can put whatever he wants in it, just to change things up. One puffer doesn't quite do much for us.
I have attached a photo of the 240g, then the 180g in the bedroom. Also, a photo of Jemaine, my huge puffer. One from the day I got him, to right before I donated him.
Enough jabbering, just "hi" and excited to be here.
