    Yeah, I wasn't to happy about it. Not much I could do though. I have taught my wife a lot about the tank and hobby though. Now she is wanting to breed clownfish. I guess I did a good job at getting her interested lol. ;D

    I'm working on training up my younger kids. They just want to throw everything in the tank lol. They actually emptied a whole bottle of cleaner for our couch into the freshwater tank last year. Nothing actually happened though to my surprise.

    I wasn't happy about it, that is for sure. My called me right away, and I honestly didn't know what to tell her. I figured everything was a goner, so I told her to turn off the filtration just save the bacteria in it. When I got home, everyone was swimming around, so I turned everything back on. So far there hasn't been any side effects thank God.

    I put baby locks for refrigerators on it lol to keep the kiddos out.

    That sounds like typical behavior lol. Give him about a month or so and he may be out all day like mine lol.

    Mine molted last night.

    haha cool I new they molted, but I didnt think it stayed green, my peppermints molt and their exoskeleton is white, so I thought it would be something similar, very cool though, Hey another question my tank in just at a month old and I am just getting diatoms now? is this bad for my crab? I have one zoanthid as well that I moved from my nano, this wont affect them will it?
