Around the age of 5, my son started saying that when he grows up he will be a marine biologist and that he will work with sea turtles. Then last year, he said he wanted a reef tank for his 10th B-day. I said no, because we did't have a clue about reef tanks. So he asked if he could get it for this next B-day, and we said sure. Since last year, I started reading tons of stuff and slowly buying all the stuff needed. I had everything ready before his Bday (few weeks ago) except for the sand and live rock. He was sad because he knew it would take a long time to cycle the tank, etc. So thankfully, after researching where to buy live rock, I found TBS. Best present my son could have ever got! There's no words to describe how excited he was when he saw the first part of the package.
The tank cycled in 10 days. Nothing died, that we could tell. We got tons of clams, or what look like clams, and beautiful tube and cup corals.

And a red crab who loves to eat white sponge!


We got our new led light. A super cheap and easy way to hang it, not the best looking but its in the kids play room, so it doesn't matter.

We also got a mantis. It is very shy. Mantis will get its own tank.
And we also have Pickle (the cucumber) who has not moved in several days. Hope Pickle is ok.
Thank you Richard for such awesome rock and critters!
