kids vs. saltwater aquariums

Man I bought my tank for my daughter before she was born she is now four years old and knows alot about saltwater tanks for her age. she helped build the canopy and always helps with clean up and water changes

 

maybe one day my daughter will partake in the daily routine of a saltwater tank, but for now i have to constantly tell her to "stop hitting the tank" and "stop yelling at the fishies".....

 

I know it must be tough trying to split your time between tanks and family. My kids take care of my tank (errrr....the family tanks) when I'm away once or twice a year. My daughter (now 12 years old) helps me with matching colors in my water tests. It's really cool. My son feeds the tank whenever I can't.

It's a very educational experience for them.....it will teach them alot that can't be taught at school.

Enjoy the look in their eyes when they look into the tank and stare in awe. It's priceless really.

Hope your new baby boy brings alot of happines into your home and I hope your passion for the hobby is passed on to your little ones.

Cheers

 

thanks for the reply....there is definitely something to be said when my little one finds herself by the tank and the amazement in her eyes makes me realize how beneficial it is to keep a reef tank in the house. i appreciate your comments and fully understand how important it is to bring different aspects of this world into their eyes. you've definitely made my buddy list...thanks again.

cheers,
