Hi guys. My son decided to ask me for a small tank with clownfish and anemones. I ignored him once and was like yeah yeah we will see. He asked me again and I was like I’m not sure if your ready to put in the work he said he was. So he ask the third time and I was like okay. He said he wanted to get a big tank like mines when he gets older. (Proud moment) Right on for @Mr2KiEu for hooking me up with the tank set up and light @Corallus for the anemones and one of the guys from reef central for hooking me with some mushrooms to add to his tank. I’m starting to love how it’s coming. Specially mase. That boy isn’t scared of getting down and dirty when it comes to his tank. He is always wanting to test something or wants to help me make some fresh saltwater or make sure the top off container is full. He really is getting things down. He also started learning how to do water changes. For a 6 year old I think he is getting the hang of it. He wants to add more corals like stuff with tentacles like toadstools frog spawn hammers things like that. Let me know if you have a frag. Recently the tank had a nasty bacterial bloom and cleared it up with a uv. Now the water is cleared.

I love it! My son is the reason why I decided to finaly take the dive into salt water. It has to be the coolest thing when he reads or watches his iPad about the ocean animals and then can walk to our living room and see it!
