how did you guys get into this hobby and started your first tank
My elder brother started a tropical tank when i was very young, i made a pond outside in the garden when i was 11, had the usual goldfish, i then went to the local park and caught some frogs that had loads of tadpoles at some point newts arrived - loved it. When i was 20 i started scuba diving, moved out, got married, got divorced, later got married again, started with trops again, saw a friend had marine and that was it, never had a spare penny since
Imagine it though. I doubt it will ever happen but a viewing pane of 3m and the tank going back 3m would give you a REAL slice of the ocean.
Cleaning it would be b**ch and so would the filtration. 7200 litres in the tank and I would imagine a sump of 2000 litres.
Nice to dream though.....
makes me think of monty phyton "she turned me into a newt ..... I got better "
seems like we all began more or less the same with fresh water then over to marine and it seems like alot of people took a few years to get into marine so it seems to me like we all have alot in common besides Weeman now he started off with frogs suppose that counts
