Oh Tony, not the eel?????

I'm all for maintaining my own tank, half the fun of it is all the water chemistry, aquascaping, frag placement and of course, picking caulerpa (I so hate waterchanges though but would hate paying someone to do it even more, that would take away from my coral budget ). I've discovered that I get bored when the tank is "full" or looking good as I don't want to mess with it, but then I end up doing it anyways. The other half of the fun is buying stuff
