Merediths 75g upgrade

Stickers are cool. It's anything that makes the kid smile.
If I had a Grand Son first I would have done SpongeBob. But my wife thought Sesame Street would be better for a girl.

I took everything out of my show tank at work. I got rid of some very invasive xenia and GSP, redid the rocks and got rid of some boring fish. I did sell the chevron tang, but ge kept killing new tangs and he was losing his pretty juvi colors. So out he goes with the rest! It looks empty now, but it will fet better. Nems are in the plans.

Looks good

Thanks! You wouldn't believe how tore up my hands are! They hurt everywhere from lifting out 30lb rocks with all those sharp deals on them. That tank is 3 ft deep if it's an inch and I had to hang by my hips to get in there. I didn't put all the rock back in either. I wanted more swimming space and made spaces for nems. I'm going to be adding some larger fish to it, so I think they needed more space than the previous "wall-o-rock" would allow. Though, now it looks like a brand new set up. I took out all the xenia and gsp, 3 blue eye cardinals, 3 very large chromis and the chevron tang. Now I have lots of room for all kinds of things. I also added 3 bags of live sand so I can keep sand-dwelling fish and inverts! I'm really excited because this is going to be so cool in another 6 months!

Can't wait to see it going! Looks like you have plenty of room in it though!

It's going to be pretty darn awesome when I'm done. It was already nice, but my plan is to aim for better than "nice"

Thanks for the kind words! Pretty soon you'll start seeing other tanks I take care of as well. My photography skills arn't quite what I'd like, but I have a new camera I'm trying to convince my husband that I absolutely need. lol Hopefully he'll give in and let me get it and the laptop I want at the same time! Oh and the pictures definitely ebb and flow like waves when it comes to quality. You can tell when I use my cell phone and when I use a real camera.

Well I had a couple losses from the display tank at the store, but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't that bad of a loss. At home, everybody is doing well together. They have been a little neglected, but are getting along swimmingly anyway.

Good luck with your new fishies!

I know i keep posting things about the display at work, but its the only thing im messing with right now. My tank is cruising along but needs a water change.

The display got two new nems today!! A large green bta and a smaller rose bta. I plan to add more as im able to find them, like a lemon drop and inferno, like that. One of the clowns found the green bta almost right away. Still waiting on the other to find it too. As usual mh pictures suck. The green bta looks washed out here, but i promise it has great color.

Cool beans! Awesome to see you taking interest in a tank other than your own.
But we do need to see progress on the 75[emoji12] I haven't really seen updates on it since I told you about the light hanging idea lol

Oh man! Your probably very right. I think I spend more time working on the tanks at work, than I do on my own tank. Isn't that just the way it goes? I'm working at my second job today, but I'll try to get some pictures this evening before lights out.
