Hello from Dallas.

[Suzan]

Reef keeping was my husband's hobby for the last thirty years. Although I really enjoy its beauty, I was only involved peripherally in its care... basically cleaning algae and aiptasia off of the rocks when necessary. Sadly, he passed away at the beginning of March. My first thought was to sell the aquarium, but when I saw how little money sellers were getting for their setups, I just couldn't do it, knowing how much he had invested. So after months of neglect and specimen loss I decided to dive in. I've been doing lots of reading online and figuring things out, but I am here to learn more. I have spent hours upon hours cleaning, rearranging, and have recently added a few things. I'm pretty proud of the way it looks today.

I hope the reef tank provides many years of happy memories.
I swear sometime my fish give me therapy.

Welcome Susan,
The tank looks great.
How long has it been running?

Thank you. I definitely have more appreciation for it now that I have put so much effort into it. It really has been very therapeutic.

Welcome Susan,

Thank you. This particular tank has been running for about two years. My husband was easily bored and moved up and down in tank size every few years. He started with one bubble anemone about twelve years ago and it has consistently and repeatedly cloned itself. They have been traded in many times over the years. I traded in two last week and shipped one to my SIL in FL this morning, leaving me with five. No way of knowing if I still have the original, but doubtful, lol.

Can someone tell me if there is an app for this forum? I clicked on a pop up about it when I first signed up, but nothing happened. I wasn't able to find one available on Google Play Store.
