Hello all. My name is Jim. I've been helping my roomate run his tank for the past two years. Unfortunately for him, he had to move and the tank had to stay. I have inherited his whole set-up and have come to discover how much I enjoy keeping this aquarium. The past few months I've have been trying the get the aquarium to optimal water quality. I've invested in a whole new filtration system and added a protein skimmer. So far, eveything seems to be going well. What a great hobby this is! Anyways, nice to meet you all and greetings from Sacramento California!

Weeelllll, let's see. I have one huge red lion thats been with us for about two years. It's a beautiful fish. A Porcumpine puffer thats been in the tank for about eight months. What a character. It loves to take the food right out of my hand. 3 trigger fish. 1 niger, (likes to be the boss), 1 humu humu, very docile (the tank wimp) and 1 clown trigger (my favorite). They have been in the tank for about 1 month. And my latest purchase, a naso tang. He's a big daddy too. about 7 inches I belive. he's so big that my triggers are scared of him. I have some great local fish stores in my city. Some of the selections we get here are pretty amazing. And San Francisco is close. They have all type of great stuff down there. I've not yet decided if I would like to set-up a reef tank. Maybe in the future. But I really enjoy watching the fish only set-ups. Thats about it unless you would like to know more about my filtration. Jim.
