    Slowly turning it into a reef now..Had it as a FO for years ..Had some great fish that i do miss now(mainly my Aussie tusk and large angels) but hope to some year have another set up for FO again.
    Mostly various kinds of mushroom coral ATM,a few giant cups,some hairy,spotted,blues,reds,greens,bubbles,and a few frags that i forgot exactly what they all are LOL..I think one is a cats paw and favia,also some candy cane/trumpets,zoa,and green eye polyps .
    Thanks for looking .

    Oh my that is a bit bigger than my 26g. Very nice - what are the dimensions and lighting on your aquarium?

    tank looks really nice! I kept a FOWLR for about 15 years and converted to reef about a year and a half ago. I still miss some of the fish I could keep but the reef is so much more colorful!

    I've never had FO but sure would like some of the cool fish. Can't give up the reef for it though. Looks good!

    Thanks everyone !
    I have been thinking though ..After watching the tank since changing over and getting rid of some of the fish not suitable for reefs with inverts something is missing..
    I have always been in love with one fish and had one for awhile ..
    The puffer!The puffer has always been my favorite and was one of the main reasons i kept upgrading .
    I know he will destroy all my inverts if i leave them so the plan is to get them out (as many as i can) and get another beloved puffer ..
    .I just gotta have one ,its like having a 3rd dog !
    here was my old one:

    heres a crappy ipod vid of when it was fish only

    very cool! I know we all have that favorite fish in this hobby - kudos to you for getting it and making the two things work - reef and puffer :)
