srsly

i picked up my aquarium stand today. it’s very nice and it matches the trim on the tank perfectly. it also looks very nice with our cabinets. it’s a little darker but it’s still a very rich, warm wood. i’m very happy with it. i’m filling the tank all the way now. which is taking a while. i forgot how long it takes to fill 40 gallons. i didn’t have 40 on hand so i re-used what was in the tank and an extra 10g i had laying around. i’m making some more as we speak. i think after i’ve dumped in all i have i’ll be about 3/4 full. no pictures until it’s completely full. i’ll also be ordering some rocks and some more coral later this week. i’m very happy about this. i have a lot of room now with some insane lighting. these two things mean that once my coral starts growing i can frag it off and trade or sell it. because really this is about the only way you can sustain this hobby…
