I’ll take a jawbreaker when there ready!
Hopefully I have a father/son relationship like yours!

I actually have three. My boy is the youngest at three years old and is the one who is the most into it. I'm done at three though. Lol

Thanks @Samina !! We are having a lot of fun. It is a father/son hobby for us. While some people enjoy just watching their corals grow huge, I really enjoy watching a new coral start to encrust and grow. My son loves fragging and we will spend hours together in the garage fragging. It is great, no phones, no distractions and we really have some good talks. We could charge more but we are not in the hobby to turn a profit - just for fun. The money we get pays for supplies, energy use, pocket cash for my son, and buying new corals. Currently we are growing out a lot of nice corals that we hope will be ready soon. In addition to our Walt Disney, next year we hope to offer some of our Fox Flames, HomeWreckers (we have 4 growing out), Spainbows, Pinky and the Bears, ASD Rainbow Millies, 2 types of blue tenius, Orange Passion tenius, Beach Bum montis, Jaw Breakers and the list goes on................. at really cheap prices. We run our tanks "old school" with no automation and testing by hand. We have met a bunch of really nice fellow reefers and a lot of them bring us a frag (or 2) to help support cheaper corals for all.
Cheers! and Happy Holidays and thanks for the support!!!!

My Dad and I use to do the same thing over a tablesaw, under a hood, in the woods or on the water. Of course, no cell phones back then, PCs, 4 channels on TV 5 on a good day and aquariums were bowls with goldfish, a betta was considered exotic. I was intermediate in skill level, guppies. Good Times
