Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

Lol, He & I have started a 55g last fall. He helps do water changes, picks out livestock, tests water parameters, etc. The tank will be in his room, but I'll keep a close eye on it. He's more anal than I am.

I would rather have an all-in-one system. Maybe around the $400 range.

At least hes a little reefer and not doing a little reefer, I agree. Hand him down your 55 and you get a 90. or maybe a 125. |

My son is about the same age as yours and we have the 29 bio cube - it seems a real manageable size for him to take care of and easy to assimilate into my tank if he loses interest at any point.  |
