Thanks for the Welcomes! Back in the good ole days, my best bud owned a pet shop and I would go with him to the distributors once a week. We would come back with a van full of boxes. I could buy anything I wanted at cost. He would also order anything I wanted for cost including tanks. He taught me a lot, and I spent a lot $$$! He would talk me into some of the best fish I ever had. Like my wild caught Leopoldi stingray. At the time there were only 6 in the u.s. The Shedd Aquarium had 3, 2 were in Cali, and mine for $285. In one room at one time I had a 185 in wall reef bookended by 2 x 120s all plumbed into one big filter. Octopus in one and Hawaiian dragon moray in the other. A 220 with the stingray, and 2 x 85 hexes on either side of the doorway. One planted heavy and full of crab and shrimp for the octopus, and the other held my 12 year old wild caught jack dempsey. First fish I ever owned. Purchased from my bud's dad when he owned the store. I was 12 with a pocketful of lawn mowing money. A 15, heater, light,
hob, and he threw in the jd for free. I also kept a 40b community for my parents, and another at my girlfriends. Along with working 2 jobs, one full and one part time, I was a busy guy !
New to FW fish? First tank in a long time or EVER??? Need some info on keeping fish?
