Since Vader shares his hobby, thought I'd share mine (Salt Water Aquarium)

1 Yellowtail Blue Damsel
1 Six line wrasse (not pictured)
1 Scopus tang
1 Diamond goby (not picutred)

1 Coral Banded Shrimp

That's pretty cool man. I always had aquariums growing up but never salt water.

I did a assload of research first. I wouldn't start with a small one myself. It's just harder to keep stuff in balance cause the smallest addition or subtraction makes larger swings.

I'd start with 30 or 40 gallon min

I've always wanted to do this but I'm pretty sure I'd kill everything and just waste my money.

Yeah, there is no way that I would do another tank right now, I have a super neglected 30G Cichlid tank right now

I've thought about getting back into salt water tanks, but then I think about the times when it all went wrong. You have a good, hearty collection there.

Now days it is so much easier than 20+ years ago when my Pops and I were into salt water aquariums. You either got information from books or pried it out of people in the business, which more often than not was like pulling teeth.

Looks cool bro. My roommate had a fresh water back in the day. I don’t have the time to fool with that, but it looks like its worth the effort.

A lot of people do. It's a "hobby" for sure. I haven't killed much, just two corals. But did TONS of research first and am very anal about doing things right, testing, etc. It's just alot to learn at first. I researched heavy for about 6 months before starting.

It is.

I just made some popcorn but I put a little too much salt on it. I feel like a bit of a failure. I still ate it.
