WOW

That is a nice aqaurium.

That water is amazingly clear.

I have thought about reefing, it is a challenge to know where to start. Everything I have read says start with the biggest set up you can and don't waste any time on second rate equipment, makes sense.
The problem is finding the right size to start with. It is all a balance between space and budget. I also think I better get a lot better at aquarium keeping. Pickles was normally a hider, we didn't see he was gone until the next day.
With a new puppy in the house we lost track of the broken lid for a day. The puppy got sick and we suspect that Pickles may have been eaten by Ana, the kids thought that was funny and she did get sick. Also the death toll may not seem like much from over there but from the kids eyes the loss of Pickles and the two neons has represented a series of small tragedies.
I have a friend who has a catfish in a 320 gallon freshwater. It eats fish that cost about $5.00 each, cichlids I think but I am not sure. He puts one in there and it is fine until it swims a certain place and then bam, gone. The strike is quick. He also has a 200 gallon shaped more like a fridge full of other fish.

Can you tell my knowledge of fish is still growing. I have no idea what kind of fish I want in the aquarium, that can happen after, I intend to go with live rock only for quite awhile, maybe 6 months or so, bob fenner says patience always pays off.
