Aquarium Project....

Recommended Posts

I had African Ciclids a few years ago...fresh water very colorful fish. I had white sand down and lots of lava rocks. It looked really cool, but Ciclids are EXTREMLY aggressive and they kill each other. @ $12 a fish it got expensive and sad to watch them kill eachother off. I ended up getting rid of them and got a dog instead!

Fun hobby, can be a little pricey though...

I grew up in Tampa Bay and through highschool and part of college worked at an upscale marine aquarium store. I had my own aquarium maintenance business on the side where I would go into dr offices and such and maintain their reef aquariums. Made pretty decent money doing it. I often think about opening up a place like that up near the lake when I retire just for fun.

Used to have a 125 gallon marine aquarium complete with chiller etc 20 plus years ago. Amazingly beautiful stuff.

I just wouldn't have one these days because of the way reefs around the world are being shreaded to supply the industry. These days we have 3 fresh water tanks in the house and a pond in the yard. Hopefully soon anything marine is either farm or tank produced or no longer available. You just can't reproduce coral reefs at will.
