A View Of God's Saltwater Creatures From Nathan's Tank

Nathan took some photos of his salt water reef aquarium he has in his bedroom. He first came to Greg and I and asked to do this saltwater tank. Myself having grown up in tropical fresh water aquariums thought well it would be nice but not saltwater to much work. So he started out with a tropical tank and did so well with that Greg and I decided to let him expand his horizons and do saltwater. Nathan spends hours pouring over the internet or books and has done an excelent job. He has even gotten Greg and Myself involved in saltwater and we have a 24 gallon aquapod reef tank. The color and beauty just amaze me but the greatest thing to see is how GOD created each animal in the ocean to maintain a specific purpose. Such as Shrimp to clean the fish and the algae from rocks. How the Rock Blenny Nathan has (sorry no photo of him yet) cleans the rocks and eats the bad algae and not the good. Or the corals that are needed for certain fish to clean. Nathan has truly opened my eyes up to GOD wonders of the sea. Nathan and I thought you might enjoy just a sample of some of these guys. All these photos were taken by Nathan and he promised more to come so stay tuned.
Nathan's 65 gallon reef tank.


this one is a foxface. One of Nathan's first fish


This one is called a Flame Angel. This one is in Nathan's tank but Greg also got one for our 24 gallon Reef Tank as it is Greg's favorite fishy


This was Nathan's FIRST fish it is a yellow tailed blue damsel



this guy is my favorite it is a African Spotted Leopard Wrasse. He is in Nate's tank I tried one in mine and didnt make it as my Sixline Wrasse killed it. :(


This guy is funny he sits up on the coral and looks down at everyone. He is a Longnose Hawkfish. Name suits him. He watches Nathan's coming and going just like a hawk. :)

Nathan says he has several other fishies but they are either way to fast and show up as a blur or they are hiding. He has several Nemo's (Clown Fish), a Dori (a blue tang) and bubbles (a yellow tang). We hoped you enjoyed a dive into GOD's world under the sea.
