Thanks snaz and lastlight. Its still pretty hard and Im having a pretty rough time getting over it. I try to hide it from my family and be strong for them but when i get home and im on my own i just break down.
The tank is already bringing me happiness. Just getting my stuff from JLA made me so happy. It felt like christmas opening up those two packages. I recieved: Caribsea Fiji Pink Substrate Instant Ocean salt mix Ebo Jagger heater HK1 and HK2 Kent Proscraper Coral Frenzy food New Life Spectrum Food Reef Plus and Reef Trace additives Refractometer Tunze 9002 Protein Skimmer Coral Master Test Kits And then Hopefully next week My rock will be comming in.

Sorry to hear of your loss... you're stronger than I am
 And you're very much on your way with all that nice equipment  Can't wait to see how things turn out... where are you getting your rock from? J&L? And what kind of rock?I've been wanting to see some real world pics of the Irian Jaya rock that they have on their website.

Blue Abyss: thats what everyone is saying about me. That im so strong. It doesnt feel like it. I loose it when im at my own place. But life must go on, as hard as it is.
And yes, some not so bad stuff i recieved. Im hoping my tank turns out to look almost as good as many others on this forum. whatcaneyedo: YAY 1 year... although it feels longer than that lol.

Hey all. Well the rollercoaster of emotions has not stopped yet. As you know my dad recently passed and I just found out that I was pregnant last month. I am now 9 weeks and 6 days. It will be our first child and the first baby in the whole family (grandchild, neice/nephew, cousin, etc) It is also my first time being pregnant. Its a bitter sweet pregnancy. We are excited about it but I just wish my Dad was here to play with his grandchild like he wanted.
Anyways, I recieved all my shipments for the salty tank and have been looking for a stand. Aparently they dont make stands for that size tank anymore. Im getting one made but my father in law says he wont start that for a while. Its been MONTHS! and he still doesnt want to start it. I wish my hubby would but hes not exactly motivated to do anything at any time. This is really getting frustrating but I will post pics of what i have so far in just a few minutes

Here they are. There will be more rock added as LR in order to seed the tank. Im trying to decide where to place corals so they can be seen at their best. i want just a few corals and I want to let them grow out so the tank looks full and very established. As for fish I keep tossing the idea around of what I want so it will be quite some time after coral before I get any fish I think.
  Coral Thoughts: mushrooms (blue, blue with spots, green with stripes) zoas (blues, pinks, anything funky in the blue/pink range) neon candy cane kandy kane acan green with pink/purple tip frogspawn neon green hammer ice blue cloves and other cloves blue pulsing xenia blue rics and rics with blue in them Fish thoughts (only one of the selections below): 2 true percs 1 coral beauty pistol yasha goby combo blue damsels 6 line wrasse ???
