Yoda and Luke
Even my 210 gallon tank required a lot of expense and effort to maintain. Though 10,000 gallons seems, at first, to be a dream tank, it could only be so if accompanied by a dream paycheck as well. Keeping within our means and our time is an important part of keeping a reef tank. I think we can all look at Eli's tank in the video and let our mouths drop open and feel a twinge of the old Green Eyed ...

Puffers are my favorite fish, hands down.

So whenever news of puffers comes long I like to read about it. Take a moment to read this scientific paper on the new species Arothron multilineatus. Though I doubt any of us will ever have one ...
