What type of tank do you want?

I want a tank that doesn't bore me. And as much diversity as it can handle...

Seeing stuff pop up after months or years that you never even put in there is a great experience.

My 55g QT also doubles as a 'local' tank with mostly Keys, the Gulf and the Caribbean stuff in it.

Ron, those are the really interesting tanks.
I also keep a small tank like that that I fill with local stuff. The tide pools here in NY are loaded with life and you can't find a place in them that is not full of life. Under any rock you will find a bunch of crabs, and a quick pull of a net will yiels pipefish, eels, puffers, sea robins, and all the snails and shrimp you can count. I don't usually let this stuff go in my reef but it is all interesting and as long as it is not a game fish, it is legal.









I spend my entire summer on my boat exploring tide pools
