Always nice to see another Floridian in the forum. Great pictures! The grouper makes me hungry, though. :)

You have a reef build here, yet?

Indeed, I enjoy these waters, and I must admit grouper taste insanely good :whistle: I currently have the equipment, but the indigenous reef aquarium is a future project, my current place is to small for an overwhelming aquarium ha. I am starting a few nano aquariums....the first containing one super delta betta, and the rest shall be mini-reef aquariums. I doubt anything spectacular, but this is my only option at the this precise moment in time.
 
Simply stunning pics.

But your oceans don't come close to our UK waters!

Loads of boring blennies and tons of green hair algae! :lol:

And up on the north sea, countless dead bodies from Scottish suicides! :lol:

Well, post the mini-reefs and we'll love seeing them. :) I'm doing a biotope of sorts with a 36g. Some local critters don't get that big.

Wow, and I thought the stuff we have in Boston's waters was cool (starfish, anemones, crabs, and more anemones), but that is just awesome!
 
I love FL Keys pics!!! Sooo cool. Very jealous that you can just go diving and see all those amazing things. I'd have to pay loads to go abroad to do that!! lol
 
This is my secret location for snorkeling...swim a fairly good distance, and the aquatic life is superb (Somewhat clear day) :yahoo:
