Used to be in my old house... My wife put a piece of furniture on the wall where my 180 was going in the new house before I could get it setup. Had to sell it since it did not fit anywhere else that made sense... Had the whole setup just they way I wanted it to.. Chiller and all.

Women..... LOL

Now if your girlfriend wanted me to move the tank I may have to consider... J/K

It was a favorite hobby for me...

As Arnold said... "I will be Back"

Yeah, He was hiding in the corner...

He's a little too friendly, swims up to the glass when I walk up.
I took him out of the tank sat him on the floor for a half hour, and said "how do you like that you little ****" ...LOL .. J/K
I don't think he'll try that again

I have had some of my fish for going on 5 years
Maroon Clown (awsome fish) 5 years and his anenome has split 5 times and has lived as long as he has.
A Purple tang, (5 years, He is barely alive at this point Lateral Line, and Fin rot, A really hard fish to keep.
Snowflake Moray Eel, Mandarin Gobie, and lots of corals.

The only problem I have encountered is green hair alge..
A freakin nightmare, Upkeep is a *****, butI think I am winning

I took these pics and blinded them both a few minutes ago.

On my back deck I have a 70 lb. alligator snapping turtle with a head like a pitbull. He tries to kill me every time I have to move him. He's the only pet I've ever owned that could seriously wound me if I'm not careful (fingers gone for sure, could maybe take a hand).

To funny!! Sneaky little bastard.. also to teach him a lesson,
Take a extension cord preferbly orange ( so they thinks its food)
cut off the end.. plug into wall, and watch them take a bite

Kidding of course.. do not try this at home...

Yeah, did the numbness go away yet? Speaking as a physician, maybe you ought to get it checked. Then invite us over for a fish fry....

Never had that problem. Guess I have a bunch of weenie fish. A Clarki, Strawberry fish, and yellow tang. Maybe I'll go and try to grab my Urchin!
