    well after what was the summer from hell for me and my family and things are finally getting back on track and while evn though for quite sometime i was without any of my stuff i finally have reef back. all my corals and stuff ahve spent the past 2 months crammed into a 20 gallon tank being jsut barely sustained with inadequate lighting while there was some losses i think the next few pics will speak for themselves and how happy i am.

    Welcome Back!! The tank looks great, I also love the fact that you migrated mollies to the reef.

    If I am not mistaken, you had a water 'accident'? in your basement, right?

    Glad to see you back, in any event! Tanks looks very nice! :) Did you use Chris to build that tank? If so , what are the specs... (if not, sorry to have confused you with someone else! lol) ::)

    So how does one migrate fish to salt water?
    is one species more apt to migrate than another?

    my understanding is that mollies are naturally brackish fish but they do tend to spend more of there time in higher salinity waters. Mollies, guppies, some puffers , and some eels are a few of the fish that i know are capable of this but there are many more brackish water species that could be converted toa full marine environment but not sure if its really worth doing as marine fish are just so much nicer. The mollies were an easy choice as they were only $1.99 for the pair
