Good for you Surfzone, serving your country is a calling, I stayed 35 years and while I have a lot of regrets for what I witnessed, did and ordered others to do, I would do it all again. The men I trained with, fought with, comforted while the life left them, lived 24/7 for months on end with, got stone drunk with and had the honor and privileged to command were and are some of the finest examples of what it means to be an American.My clowns spawning spured me on to try other fish, such as dottybacks, cardnels, gobies, and even mandarins all of which I was successful with. I was not too great with royal grammas jawfish, and quite a few others. However life called and now I'm a military man moving every so often. Now that I'm at a base that I will more likely be staying at until the end of my contract. I've set up another reef and may start breeding fish once more.
My reef tank (soon to be tanks) is my PTSD treatment.
