Ha, you're the support system. Every boat needs that. Smiling

Aw, we had a few fish jump out of the tank too, and we never found them in time. It just seems like something that happens occasionally. Most of the top of the tank was covered by lights and hood, but there was about a 2 inch gap, and somehow they always found it.

My favorite fish of all was an emperor angel. They go through 3 distinct phases and look entirely different as they keep changing. I found a tiny one about half an inch long. We had it for about 2 years. At that point it was full grown, and gorgeous! It was funny in that it could make a loud grunting noise. If we walked by the tank in the dark, it would grunt at us. We didn't know if he was saying hi, or if he was grumping about us disturbing him. Our tank was just 75 gallons, so we ended up having to release him back to the ocean because he was really too large for the tank. After that, we'd frequently see him when we went back to the place where we released him. He'd swim around us and was much less afraid that the others.

I think I still have a few pics of our tank. This has gone way off topic. Is it ok to continue or should we do something in the sandbox?
