Default The Biggest Tank I'll Ever Build! (STOCKED She is Here!! 07.24.09)

Update 07.24.09 - So after an over due wife, and induction 19 hours of labor and a post pardum hemmorage she is finally here! On July 21 @ 5:22am my little daughter made her grand entrace into the world. She weighed 7lbs 6oz. We named her Aselin Lee (pronounced AS-LIN) There is a pic attached at the end of thread!

Update 06.04.09 - Aquascaping stickers came in today so we decorated the "tank" Pictured added in new post!

So we got cracking on the nursery this weekend, pending the birth of our daughter in July! Just wanted to share the pics of the progress with you all! We are by NO means pro painters lol, this took us like 4 hours to get done!
Ive got a buch of sea life stickers on order to fill the water up with and ill post some pics of the finished product. Ill also paint the sand on tomorrow!





We had to freehand all the waves and my wife has a much steadier hand than i!




Here is a pic of the crib bedding we decided to go with!

Default 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!
