Our New Toy

On the radio one day Chip heard a commercial for a Salt Water Aquarium store. We were running some errands and decided to stop in and just check it out. Chip has always wanted one so we started talking to one of the employees about what it all entailed. He suggested that we start small like a 5 Gallon tank just to get our feet wet and not kill anything. Well about 3 more trips to that store and checking out a few we went back to the original store and now Chip's idea had grown to a 34 Gallon tank. Well it just so happened that the employee had one that was established that he wanted to sell so he could upgrade to a bigger one and wondered if we were interested. So we went and checked it out and here it is. We have 4 shrimp(two types), lots of coral, a clam, a snail, a crab, a starfish, one fish and soon to be getting a nemo fish. The kids love it and actually we do too. Everything hides a lot in the coral so its fun to try and find it and see it when it decides to come out of hiding!
