Your grandfather was far ahead of his time. Except for a 4 inch gravel bed in one of those freshwater tanks

I would give anything to have my family support my hobby as much as your grandfather/father surely have....

I see a niger triggerfish too. That queen angel looks like it was gorgeous!!! Looks like a snowflake moray eel.

That wall-to-wall tank is incredible!!!

this dark guy in the middle is a triggerfish?
or am i seeing things and thats not a fish?

ya if your out in the backyard making 14 foot tanks in your shop back then,your doing something right

the smaller sw tanks are quite full of coral but maybe for bio growth?

and ya my family is used to aquariums as you can see
