Every time he brings it up, I bring up his four post bed. Which weighs over 3 times the weight of my tank and has been there 3 times as long. We don`t have that conversation much.

Dude trust me try to get the biggest tank possible for you if you are doing a saltwater you won't be able to keep any fish in there and water changes might be drastic to such a small tank

I've read up on it and to be honest, I don't want any fish in my tank, just a CUC and a few zoas/ mushrooms. Until I get the hang of it so I can keep better corals.

Chinese hi fin sharks grow really big and need a lot of algae. They eat almost all algae. Plecos can survive in a pond ?

I plan to upgrade my pond but I need to do a lot of planning since a pool is going to take up a bunch of space in our backyard. That will be really fun when you build a 200+ gallon tank.

Haha that'd be amazing! I don't have any ponds, but that'd be sweet! And yeah I'm excited to do that 200+ gallon cuz there are so many options! I think keeping and breeding stingrays in it would be cool!

Wow!!! Breeding stingrays is a lot of work but it is worth it in the end. Freshwater or SW?
