My Saltwater Aquarium.
I got my tank on Thursday 12-13-07. I had to get my husband to build the stand and that took about two days. Then I had to stain it and put the varnish on it. That took about another two days. then finally it got to come home on 12-18-07. When we got it home it was time to put it together and that was not fun. Instead of doing things like putting the back ground on and things like that I went on and filled it with water. On 12-20-07 I put the sand and salt in. Still not looking to see if it was far enough away from the wall to plug in the lights. It was not and 150 gallons of water 6 bags of sand and 3 bags of salt later I thought about that. To late to even worry about that. on 12-22-07 I got to put my first fish in the tank. I got 4 Blue Damsals and I hope they are happy. I got up on 12-23-07 and they are still alive. It may not seem like that big of a deal to some but to me that was huge. I was told that someone has a large live rock and a star fish they would give me if I could get it up and running right. And to anyone who know the price of living rock that is already growing the coral on it that is a lot of money saved. More on this as the days go on.
