Because I need another hobby…

My uncle Doug has been in town the past few days and he came bearing gifts. He brought down his old 55 and 35 gallon aquariums with their stand as well as some pieces/ parts. Kyle and I (mostly me) thought it would be fun to set up in our office, especially since I spend so much time in there. After two days of hard work (and more money than I imagined), we have a our tank set up and the water is cycling. Tomorrow or Thursday I will take my water samples over to Creation Reef and Aquatic and have them test the water. Then we should be ready for fish. Here is how the whole display looks so far!

The 55 gallon top tank will house an assortment of african cichlids and maybe a plecko.

The 35 gallon lower tank will probably house an assortment of fancy goldfish…and a really cute Elmo diver which I haven’t added yet. I thought Claire would really enjoy all of the color.

Claire already enjoyed the bubbles. I can’t wait to add fish. I promise I will post more pictures once I do.

We’ve really enjoyed visiting with my grandparents the last few days as they have been hanging out at my house during tank set up.

    Your tanks look wonderful! This looks like the mini Atlanta aquarium. Good choice of fish. Claire is going to love them.
