Maybe throw in 50 lion fish to get the local vibe . Just kidding. Saw a documentary today about how much of a problem those guys are there lately.
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 :)

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)!
