Thanks! It took quite a while to get it all done. My son is 2 1/2, my daughter 1 1/2, so that doesn't leave me a lot of time in the day to get much done.
I had to do it twice because the first time I didn't do it quickly enough and the silicone started to set before I got the tape off. It wasn't pretty! After a few choice words and a new razor blade, I got that silicone off, and started to re-tape.
Second time around was better. I used one of the caulking tools instead of my hand, and wore gloves (big mistake the first time, I was peeling the stuff off my fingers for days!) so the whole process went much quicker.
For now it will be a guppy tank. But I have been doing some research in my area as what I really wanted to do was make it a seahorse tank. I have found a fantastic local fish store close to me. They sell locally bred sea horses, that have been raised on frozen and live foods. They also sell a brine shrimp "hatcher/feeder". It hangs on the outside of your tank like a filter would, you add the BS eggs, and after they hatch, they swim to the surface and get pulled into the tank. This appeals to me! Hah!
So this will begin with saving for a really good filter. Then for sediment and salt. Then live rock, and then eventually the horses themselves. I figure I am looking at a year away at least unless i win a lottery!
I am learning patience.......or trying to at least!
cheers!
