Who, me? No, haven't broken into saltwater yet, but I'm contemplating a nano-reef tank when my goldfish get upgraded. It's pretty pricey, though... I'll have to save up for a while first.

Yeah, that's probably why I'll start with a nano-reef to see if I even like it. I am trying to get my angelfish to NOT eat all their offspring so I can sell a few of them. There is an awesome store here that will give store credit if nothing else, so I might be able to break into saltwater that way.

Provided, of course, that my angelfish STOP EATING THEIR BABIES. It's not like I don't feed them...

Why thank you Gumbi, I take all the credit :-) But, sorry guy, he's as straight as they come. And the ladies just adore him! He is a very handsome guy! When he was a teen every-time the phone rang it would be a girl for him. My daughter and I started answering the phone "Justin's answering service" LOL

Doom, Those are some beautiful angels ! Wow!!
I have one that is blind in one eye. I think it was born that way, it has never had any kind of injury. Silly thing swims around all day on its side! I always feel terrible when I scare her because she didn't see me. Its a Koi angel. I have a little Zebra one too. I bought them at the same time and they were the same size. My zebra is still only about maybe 2" and my Koi is almost 5"! Any idea why they grew so different? Or why the one is blind in one eye?
This pic is the Koi. See the pink on her/his cheek? The blind side does not have that and that eye is a red color.
The top pic is her good side, the bottom one is her blind side. See the difference?

My CO2 setup...

The Diffuser is the plastic bottle top section. I have water pumped in from the top and CO2 from the side. The CO2 bubbles rise and then the jet of water hits them and knocks them back down. That reaction continues until the CO2 comes out of the bottom of the bottle top in very fine bubbles. Here's some better pics of it in action.
