Don't have one myself, but I always like visiting city aquariums. I remember being drawn to the beluga whales in NYC when I was a kid.

That's good looking, I like the plants rather than gravel a lot.

I used to have a 75 gallon marine. It was very interesting. We Had to get rid of it during a remodel, as it was a lot of money and work while trying to finance and complete the project. The best part was coming back with a flashlight after a few hours of lights out. The rock is shipped directly from the Fiji islands and all sorts of crazy things crawl out after dark.

That's one reason id like a reaf tank with live rock. All the little organisms people don't even think about

@J7000 I have a 37 gallon tank. Pirate theme. I'll take a picture later. How did you do that carpet??? I got use to the gravel due to the salt water one i use to have.

The carpet is made of a hemanthoius specie. Just got to give it enough light and trim it and it carpets easu

I have kept fish for years .although quiet new to marine it's still a learning curve all be it an expensive one

@J7000 really nice tank carpet. How is the tank doing now? I just got my 55g upgraded to a 75g. I also have a 29g and 20L setup with various corydoras (black corys in the 29g).

Used to have 4 or 5 tanks of varying sizes, I've had a Lion Fish, Chocolate chip ray, octopus, invertebrates (sp?), cichlids, all kinds of fresh and salt water spiecies. Lot of work but worth it. I miss them. Always wanted a reef tank but they are expensive. Basically two tanks, one is a filter.

I feel like necro is okay in off topic. I like aquariums, but don’t have my own. If looking for some cool stuff I suggest the massive aquarium in Chicago.
