I think new tank needs new thread...
I sent Levi, my fiance dude, to the store to pick up the 36g bowfront from petsmart. I had been saving for a bit...it was 30" and perfect to fit between my desk and wall! 30" is all the space I had to work with.
So what does he do! Brings up a 46g!!!...Bowfront!? I am not a fan. And I am just like uhm...that wont fit anywhere?? And the stand has a foot of enclosed room to store stuff in bottom...wtf? His reason: it was the same price! So I am all...ok I can deal.
So after moving the couch to where the TV was, and the TV to the corner the couch was in, and tore down the dog kennel...dog better not pee in my house or eat my thongs!), we found a spot for it. Then of course, no bolts to hold the shelves up on stand, so called and made them order some. Then no glass lid! So called and had it ordered.
My instructions before he left for work...fill up the tank, I don't wanna look at an empty tank when I get home.
So I filled it up!!! Thought I would share a pic of the completed version, lemme know what you think, if I should move stuff around, criticism very welcomed and encouraged!! The left middlish looked kinda empty.
Pics to come...
p.s. he got a betta...he who says female bettas are ugly...it was brown and strated and he says she beautiful!?! oh, to my surprise she is bright blue with some good light and good water!?
