Lol. You're getting to sound like our house down south JUST before we moved. Beware. What about a seahorse/pipefish planted tank? You could also do what we did, and dig up the back yard to turn it into a koi pond.

Wow, that is unreal! I'm having a hard enough time convincing the wife on a second (large fowlr) tank, lol.

If the wife ever complains about my two tanks, one fresh, one salt, I'll just show her this post. :thumbsup:

LIKE...noo LOVE this idea seahorse pipe planted tank...no koi pond my dog would be swimmin and fishin 24/7/365 and no place to put one due to shape and size of yard

still looking for stocking ideas for the(3) 65g second hand store find...45 days of "leak test"..ready to add salt water/sand/rock and start cycle...still no clue of how i am gonna stock...

You could do some species tanks...jawfish in one, lions in the other. I think 65 is adequate for dwarf lions can't recall off the top of my head.

This would be my choice:

1- clams and shrimp or other cool marine inverts that would not do well in other tanks.

2- seahorses

3- fowlr or reef with fish incompatible with your other tanks. Or set it up as a display refugium.

Though that would be a big tank for 1 shrimp

Frog fish? They are cool! Would probably have to be a species tank though as they are stupid aggressive. And hunters.
