Walnut, if I ever started over, I would downsize, too. I'd drop to a 29 gallon Oceanic Bio Cube. That's a plug and play system, and I bet you would enjoy it. It's a large enough volume of water to handle minor swings, but small enough to cut down on maintenance. The single most peaceful thing in the tank is watching Nemo with an anemone, so I would build a tank around that. Like you said, add a few shrimp, maybe a couple of coral, and leave it at that. Clams are beautiful, but very finicky, and sea horses can't handle much water flow. Water is whipping in a full blown reef tank. My 90 gallon has a total flow of 3800 gph

Thanks for that info. It's been 30 years since I ran an aquarium so I figured things had moved on. We have a 90 gal outdoor fish pond installed indoors with goldfish and turtles, that is pretty easy to keep, usually 2 full water changes over the winter. I dip out water for the plants, and fill with fresh when the level goes down, so it's continuous partial changes.

If I could just live next to a tide pool I wouldn't want a tank.  I took a trip a few weeks ago and spent hours just taking pictures of and watching small aquatic life in tide pools.

Or I may just throw a few crayfish in a bucket and call it good.

On my 90 I do a 30 gallon change every month...

This is definitely becoming their favorite play area...

And I have discovered the joy of 'turkey help' around the yard...

I almost arrested the Ag teacher today. He broke one of the eggs to show the students the stages of development.

As long as he doesn't post about it...

Me neither!

Ugh... so sorry...

I teel your pain... been fighting one of those wanna be headaches for 2 days... just trying to keep it from going full blown nuclear...

Thanks, Rav! Sorry to heare you're having the same problem!

Have I asked you this before? Do you take Relpax? That's the only thing that's ever worked for me. This time of year is awful, allergies trigger migraines. I'll get 1-2/week from now until June. Just talking about it will make one start...

Never heard of Relpax. Works well? Is it preventative or do rid you of an existing migraine?

Existing. Preventatives don't work for me. When one breaks through, it's ten times worse. Relpax knocks out 80% of mine within 2 hours
