Wow! Nice aquarium. Then you'll love diving (in clear water on dynamic reefs). I'm glad you're into captive breeding.....too many fish populations, especially of unusual fish, are threatened and dwindling because of collectors and others who pay well. yada yada. I know, I'm preaching to the choir.

welcome aboard John.

Welcome to the forum, John.

I used to have salt water tanks years ago but gave up when my $4.95 hermit crab ATE my $69.99 anemone. Keeping a salt water tank is a challenge.

Making a habitrail for your fish is even harder:

thanks for the hospitality guys and gals. some of you i know, and some ive met arlready. but its nice to make more aquaintances, mabe ill have the opertunity to cave with some of you. and by the way Wayne, is that the habitrail in the pic? if so thats pretty impressive!

Where is that? It's pretty cool -- never even heard of anything like it. Do the fish really swim through it from tank to tank? Incredible! (Why does it remind me of Finding Nemo? )

Here is a link to the Habitrail that Wayne posted a pic of:

Of course you can always go with this kind of tank:
