365seasons 55G (updated august 15th- new pics!)

[365seasons]

Now that we've for the most part got up to pace with where we're at, we figured we'd attempt to explain our plans. I'm a sucker for seahorses, but since we have other fish, and SPS in our tank, seahorses were out of the question. But, after a trip to Red Coral, and some very sporadic decisions, we decided to start a species tank coming off the left side of our main tank.

10G drilled in the top right, with plumbing coming into our big tank, and a pump pushing water back into the 10. Very exciting stuff for new reefers like us.

Now, on top of this, my Dad agreed to let us borrow his garage and tools in order to build a new stand to incorporate all of the following.

Here's what we're thinking, replacing the stand under the 55G with a nicer looking one, have a shorter piece coming out from the left of it, on which my video moniter for the babe, and my bedside lamp will sit. Then, a taller piece coming up the back and being flush with the 10G to support it adequately.

I probably make NO sense, because I can't build a house out of popsicle sticks, but pictures will be up soon. I want to get at my seahorses sooner than later.

Really nice aquascaping there! Interesting dimensions/ratio there... I like the look.

Also noticed what appears to be a GARGOYLE and a TEDDY BEAR BOOK on the same ledge. I like a little variety in the bedroom as well (but certainly don't see any in mine).

Can't wait to see more!

The gargoyle was from my hubby's first 10G, have no idea why it was in our bedroom, and the teddy bear book is our sons baby book (apparently kept by my bed for quick additions???)

Thanks so much for commenting! We are very excited for it. The more we get into saltwater, the less attention our freshwater tank gets.
