...and more importantly... plenty of space for another tank down the road

Someone else's back is going to hurt instead of mine - looks fun! 2 gallons at a time oh boy. Blue wants his home out front where he can see out the window.

Wow what a beautiful room !
Are you planning to add a nice sized recliner right in front of the tank ???

KimPossible · 04-07-2007, 12:43 PM

Thanks everyone!!

... more like a wooden stool, and everyone else has to sit on the couch to see the tank... what I hear is ... Mom, move your head, your in the way..hahahah...

Yeah, my back is a little sore right now, but nothing Doans cant fix

.. I'm on a roll...

Well, all the water is made now. I'm gonna drain the fresh out of the tank and into another brute to rinse off my sand before putting into the tank. All this in between getting ready for Easter, we boiled 4 dozen eggs last night to sit before coloring.... my girls are 8 & 12 so I'm hoping they don't need toooo much supervision. I'll get some more pics as soon as the sand and salt are in.

Thanks for all the support! You guys are great

lcstorc · 04-07-2007, 01:03 PM

Yippie! Sounds great. I'm sure the girls will do just fine on the egg coloring. They should have had lots of practice in previous years. Just cover everything in newspaper and it will be fine. You didn't need 4 dozen hardboiled eggs anyhow. If they break a few, oh well.

Good luck getting the tank up and running. You have a busy day ahead, but it sounds like you are prepared.

Tank is beautiful Kim! Can't wait to see it full of goodies!

KimPossible · 04-07-2007, 01:25 PM

They do have a lot of practice and my patio is covered in news paper.
It is a tradition to come over to Aunt Kims house for an early dinner and the 'hunt'... I usually have tons of eggs...decorated as eyeballs, bugs, animal print, the usual, spackled, the list goes on. It usually only takes me a couple of evenings to get them done. My 12 yr old is in charge of the eggs this year.

lcstorc · 04-07-2007, 01:36 PM

You should put up some pics of the finished product. That would be fun.

bluespotjawfish · 04-07-2007, 08:51 PM

I say deligate, deligate, deligate! They can rinse the sand too! That's what I had my kid do - hehe!

Sounds like a lot of fun! Should we be expecting pics of the eggs too?

Beautiful set-up Kim. I see you painted the room in a matching color to your tank stand, way to go! Have fun with all the activities. I'm sure Peter Cottontail will be good to you. Happy Easter!

saltwaterfarm · 04-08-2007, 12:20 AM

Happy Easter Kim! Can't wait to see/hear how those Easter Eggs turn out!

DaBird · 04-08-2007, 04:05 AM

Wow Kim, Great thread, I just sat here and read the whole thing (a little insomnia) ...I like your cabinet designer, what kind of wood is that, it almost looks hand carved...anyway, great read and when me and Rhonda are ready to upgrade, we might steal some of your ideas...!

lcstorc · 04-08-2007, 09:19 AM

We need pics of the tank and the eggs.
Hope everything went well.

KimPossible · 04-10-2007, 12:29 PM

Well, the tank is a soupy mess....My sand still has not settled and I've added it on Sunday. I kept the circulation off for 1 day, but then turned it back on. I'm not sure if the suspended particles are heavy enough to eventually settle back into the sand. We'll see...

Ok, here are the Easter pics I promised! I hope everyone here had a nice day!
Paige did a great job dying eggs, nothing fancy just colored eggs...but...look the colors stayed true. I did not help on a single egg. I had to add the last pic...our newest addition to the family, little Tyler. Boy I love it having babies around...as long as they are not mine
