hahaha thanks man!, she got a 120 in her room but fish and a few softies only...and she must have heard you as now she wants to redo everything and add the scape in there... uuggghhh.. kids...lmfao!!!! we'll see what she finally decides... i want to upgrade to a 220 so she just might get the 150 moved to her room... lol!

well after thinking about it .... she decided to wait till we get the 220 up so she can have the 150 in her room.... now either gotta build one or wait till the lfs gets one in... i think she's the only 8yr old with her own 120g and a queen size bed!!! so the 55 will become my prop tank now... hahaha, but for now ill use it to cycle the rocks...

Shit, I should've used that water spot remover on the back of my 120... got a little of that lime stain crap.
Nice scaping bro... I'm sure your daughter will be happy. Is that for her 200 or the 55?

BTW, I like how the Heinies are accidently thrown in there..... lmao

thanks man! the scaping will go in the 150 when it goes in her room, so ill need to do more new scaping for the new 220 when CF gets one in.... hopefully she'll help with the design of the scape! ... u need some of the stain remover? i got lots! or if the stains are'nt too bad, you can try vinegar, or clr...

I'd hate to drain my tank and start over.. Maybe when i plan to tent my house i can clean those stains up. It's not too bad with water in the tank...

what I see in this post is what the reefers culture should be, family involvement, passing on the love of great hings growing up with a cool dad that has all the coolest creatures and her own tanks! Thats what I'm talking about! Okay so I sound hokey........I dont fucking care , do you! LOL

my daughter is totally into the reefing aspect of SW!! i cant go near the beach let alone the LFS without her looking for something new!!! hahaha.... hopefully more of our younger ones can continue what we have been doing!!! after i pass i wanna look down and see all my sticks look like TREES!!!! CHEEEEAAAHH!!!!

My grandkids are getting into salt water tanks! the oldest turned 10 in July she wanted to go eat rattlesnake for her birthday. They went to the LFS and she decided she would really like two cool more expensive fish for her tank for her birthday! Then she said oh and we can eat rattlesnake next weekend!

My 8 year old has been keeping his own tank for 2 years, he started with a 2.5 gallon but was giving a 12 gallon tru vue by a member of my club because he was doing such a good job and was able to prop coral back into our DBTC program, he still has it running now, looks great and now he does all the work on it himself

^^^^^^glad to hear that the younger gen has an interest in this great hobby! will be posting new pics this weekend.
