Congrats on the new rug-rat, er, rug-fish?
 
We found that when we first got our new system up and running it sprang a lot of leaks in the beginning, but do not worry this is normal, just get lots of Pampers or Huggies to contain the spills...

Well we finally got to aquascape today and here is the end result! I still have to put up some casings and baseboards, and find a closet door. But other than that, i think we have most of our "starter" kit ready to go, and are just couting down the days to her arrival!
