Need ideas, Florida/Caribbean Reef Tank

[Fish Fan]

LOL, my Daughter was just going off about this last week. She ain't a fan of ANY man-made issues such as this.

I mean, you're daughter ain't wrong, but we seem to be "swimming" in Eco problems like this - pun intended, friend :-)

Kp aquatics has locally collected things, and amazing live rock.

Premium TBS rock would be great. A tank with fans, Caribbean finger corals and maze brains would be amazing, but I have a hard time seeinf that in a 30L. I second the sponges from live-plants.com. love the idea if a Caribbean biotope!

I guess you are going to have to give me your 40g then...
Of course I can't have everything... But I think some encrusting green corals and grow out the finger coral I got today etc. I could make it look like a slice of reef. Maybe some sea grass and Green turtle or a manatee.... :cool:

See grass would be very cool. Ever since my first of many trips to Long Beach Aquarium, I've had the idea of a drop-off tank with a deep sand bed in the dropped off portion for a pack of garden eels. Would also make for an interesting Caribbean biotope!

To be more clear, it's that curved-in tank right when you come in to the second floor from outside that has the garden eels, a few longnose hawkfish and other things, but mostly the garden eels. It is a semicircle that you step into with the tank surrounding you and is my favorite part of the place.

For Xmas I just got a renewal for AOP. I took off a year, but they re-did some stuff. We like going on the adult nites (No kids screaming in echo chambers)!

That temperate tank is also very cool. We took the kids to Disney On Ice today. The ringing in my ears is just dying down...
