My son keeps a 50-gal with some bala sharks that are getting quite huge. We did the salt water thing years ago when the kids were little but never made it past the set up stage. Our blue damsels ate the black ones. I figured that was enough "nature" for the kids and we packed it all up and took it back to the pet store.
I think folks who are really into aquariums have found an excellent hobby. Good point on balancing the tranquility of the sea life with anything - not just porn. We all need outside interests and hobbies if we want to avoid major burnout.
I love reading about other peoples' hobbies. Looking forward to the fish pics.
