    the best part about it is this site of course!

    i just really enjoy all the colors and how full of life everything is, no matter where you point even with a blindfold on you can find a spot with some sort of life wether it be pods, or bristle worms, or hermits, or fish/coral it just amazes me each day that there is so much life in these things. i have my tank in my room so at night before i go to bed i lay down and just stare at it and watch the crazy little things my fish do. the clowns are always trying to pick on the flasher wrasse but he just zooms around the tank at 100mph (exxageration) flashing his fins at them because they cant catch him, there are always 2 hermits fighting for who has dominance, just noticing how big coral pieces are getting, watching them go with the flow. It amazes me everyday.

    its so hard to pick just one. I enjoy the fact that not very many people do it so when someone comes over they stare at the tank for awhile and are in awe.

    Reefing has so many benefits. It's relaxing, it brings people, friends and families together, it's therapuetic, it gives me a since of accomplishment, it's very relaxing to look at, my own piece of a coral reef and it affords me the opportunity to express myself. An aquarium is like a frame, and I am allowed to paint or create my own vision on the canvas with my own ideas and perceptions of what a reef should look like. That's what I like about reefing.

    Please stop fragging your frags.......you'll eventually do more damage than good. Just let them grow.

    I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
