Hello and welcome to the channel.

Welcome!! Having the family enjoy the hobby makes it that much more sustainable since there is an element of time and effort involved in maintaining a system. My kids say daddy's downstairs doing fish stuff lol.

Welcome to R2R, sounds like a good time to make the 30 gallon a sump and upgrade to a bigger tank.....for your lil' girl of course, lol

Welcome. Such a good excuse, the kid wants it really. See if that works for the next few tanks too.

nah man. next step is to show the kid some pictures of holy grail torches, any high end torches will do... and then once your daughter gets excited, double team in on the conversation with mom.

My lil Booger's tank said:
I am new to this all the way around. I have always wanted a saltwater tank just never went threw with it. This past January I asked my lil girl what she wanted for her birthday? within a second her reply was nemo. I new then that this was the perfect excuse for me to get into the hobby and it has been on ever since. I love everything about it and want a bigger tank than the 30 gallon we have now. My lil booger has a pair of clowns, as well as a R.B.T that host the clowns. A Royal gramma, a lawn mower blenny and a yellow watchman goby.

Welcome! Glad you joined. This is such a great family hobby. Such a great background story - everyone loves Nemo!!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:
