One of the most common ways of enhancing the beauty of an indoor space is by installing an aquarium full of colorful fish, plants, and other exotic aquatic life. According to Chinese traditions having an aquarium with fish in a particular location brings prosperity and happiness to the owner/ occupant of the building. I recently came across an aquarium with awe inspiring live coral of various hues. These rare and exotic aquatic creatures enhanced the ambiance of the entire space.
The visit to that space proved to be a great life changing experience for me. As I watched these beautiful creatures of the sea I wondered about the wonders of nature. Something that most people have begun to take for granted. Corals are rare exotic species and need to be protected. It is not like one species is of greater importance than the other. Every life form on earth has a particular duty to perform and its absence will impact a variety of processes.
I realized that the managers of this space were actually doing a public service by keeping the live corals in the aquarium. It served to create awareness about the wonders of the world, educate people about rare species of corals, and provide a pleasant ambiance to visitors and employees alike. Thoughtful indeed. I will think of doing something similar in the future.

Safeguarding gems and jewelry with insurance
An integral part of life in the US is the necessity of insurance for almost all aspects of life. One has to have health, automobile, home, renters, life, and all other kinds of insurance, one for each part of our life. Jewelry and stones are very popular among women and few men also. I recently saw a coral for sale and decided to invest in the precious stone.
An investment in precious stone such as when you buy coral needs to be backed up by a solid insurance policy to protect against any eventuality. It was in this connection that I contacted an insurance agent to know my options about insuring the WYSIWYG coral I had bought.
I was surprised by the courtesy and speed with which the agent responded to my query. We completed the insurance buying process within couple of meetings. Since then he has been available for consultation, doubt clarification, etc. I never expected insurance buying to be a such a seamless and easy process. Whatever I had heard about insurance agents as hawks waiting to attack and devour gullible consumers was proved wrong. My friends tell me this is freak incident and an exception. But I believe that this is one of the several insurance agents who are doing great work and their tribe should increase.

Create a mini ocean in your home!!!
One of the most fascinating class of animals in my opinion are saltwater fish. I could spend hours in the aquarium watching the colorful creatures swim about gracefully oblivious of those watching them. Whenever I travel to a seaside resort I make it a point to visit the local aquarium and check out if there are any snorkeling opportunities in the area. Snorkeling is one activity where I could get to see fish, corals, and other sea creatures in their natural setting. I often wondered how difficult or easy it would be to create a similar setting at home in the aquarium.
While researching on how to create a saltwater fish tank at home I came to know that it was possible to have exotic animals like live coral in our home aquariums. That is amazing news for me, to be able to have schools of colorful saltwater fish, corals and other exotic marine creatures swimming in a clear aquarium. Just looking at the fish has a great soothing effect on my mind.
Of course maintaining Reef tanks does require some amount of work and meticulousness, but the efforts are well worth the results. Right now with the economy being as it is there are great deals on all kinds of saltwater fish tanks and accessories. I believe this is a great time to invest in some great supplies if you are enthusiastic about saltwater fish. With the right stuff you could create a mini-ocean at home.
