My wife, Mirra, did not want anything to do with salt aquariums. Since I got my first one set up (50 gallon) she has been enchanted. She now says they are more interesting than fresh. All you can do with fresh is put in fish and look at them. With salt you have fish, corals, anemones, starfish, etc. What fun.

Last year she got me a 125 gal for father's day. Within a week it was no longer mine. I have had little to no say in it since. Maybe NOW I can set it up for me. The bowfront is right by her chair. LOL
