Anyone else into fish tanks
My other hobby is saltwater fish tanks and corals.......kinda an addiction as well....while it can be done affordably it can also get outta hand http://www.seavisions.com/ for example this tank, coral isnt even real ![]() the front pane of acrylic on this was probably over 10k alone not to mention the rest of the tank construction, install, etc etc etc...... maybe ill start a new thread and see if there are any other Reefgeeks out there.

Some surfaced in Tdak's thread about transporting fish a while back. VG has a lot of experience with these setups.

x2. I have a small 45g saltwater tank with coral. It's been going strong with no big issues for about 2 years. I'm planning on upgrading to a new tank soon and upsizing some.

I've been in and out of the hobby for 15 years. My favorite was the 125g that I built out to full reef. It was all going so well up until I accepted a friend's urchin when he shut his tank down. The damned thing scarred up the acrylic so bad you couldn't see through it after a month. Downgraded to a 75 which cracked due to house settling and am now at a 28 which is about to be shut down with the impending move.
I love the concept of the full reef, but it requires more time then I have right now so we'll be content with the 20 gallon freshwater that the kids have. Three bucks a fish makes my wallet happy and the kids really happy.

Currently i have a 90g display, 30g frag tank, and a 30 gal sump.
i am a huge SPS addict and have been in the hobby for about 12 years now and keeping fish tanks since i was a kid. Have a new tank build in progress as we speak, will be a 156 (5ft x 2ftx2ft) and will probably end up with around 200-240g total system. here are a couple of pics of my corals.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

That is beautiful but I can't stop myself from asking what happens when you light a fire in the fireplace? Fish sticks for dinner?
