It's the latter... here's a thread where the last photo is of my wife, 3 of 4 grandkids and myself on family vacation last month. the only reason why she doesn't blink an eye is i've never touch household funds for any of my toys for almost a decade now, not a dollar... so, I don't have to ask her if it's OK. LoL :bigsmile:

I loss some of the original Picassos and had a few local talk me into selling some to them to begin their breeding program. So, still far from choosing what I'm going to have in terms of fishes. In terms of nems, I'm almost there. Just looking for one more nem, but they haven't been available.
Good news is it seems both my Wyoming pair and my Phantom pair are getting along with the Picassos. I didn't have that luck with the Black Ice and SnowOnyx earlier. I just replaced one of my Phantoms as it got too large and was aggressive with the other fishes. Still looking for a better smaller Phantom to go with my HELLO KITTY one.

I bet I know exactly what's going through your head... how can Ed take so long to do everything? Months to cycle his tank, months to choose clowns and months to gather his nems and nothing still in his Clownfish tank. LoL This must be one of the slowest tank build thread ever. Well, in truth, I've been in the hobby over 27 years now and nothing has to be rush with me any longer. I know that starting from dry dead rock and cyling the tank, the tank has to be aged at least 6 months after fully cycled before the parameters are stable, and the nems go in. I put in a tester nem in the 120g a little over a month ago and it seems to be doing OK, so I put in 2x more this month. The Sunburst won't go in awhile as I want to stablize it from the shock of shipping and being moved for the very first time. Once I have all the nems in, I will look at what clowns to put together to go into the new Clownfish World. LoL
Marv, Sorry, it's so painful for you to watch a slow tank thread. LoL It will be all worth it in a few more months.

I'm so happy to see my anemone got such a good new home! It is looking healthy and happy! Can't wait to see the progress and maybe a couple clowns hosting it! Definitely following along!

Beautiful sunburst Ed. If I took as much care as you in prepping, I'd probably have saved myself a lot of pain with my tank.
I do wonder what a hello kitty clownfish looks like though. Does it look like a kitty? haha
