The economy forced my mom and I to close our business, lose our homes, and become reluctant roommates. Actually, things have been working out. What is funny is how she would come to my old home and have little interest in my reef. All of a sudden, she is watching all my little tanks, it is so cute. She was originally disgusted that I was willing to feed a live star fish to my harlequin shrimp. Now she must monitor my harlequin's feeding, and tells me I am a bad reef "mom" if my shrimps go a day without a star! The other day I came home from work and she told me how upset she was because one of my tube anemones was dead. (It was retracted).
I am starting to think I may have created a monster, though, she just doesn't understand why I can't set up the empty 55 gal for her coveted P. Volitans. I have explained over and over that she can have a dwarf lion, "It just isn't the same! I like the "P" one!" Lol
