Today I Put together my first Aquarium. Ok, this is truly my second, Sorry Woodstock, he was my first, a free goldfish from K-mart that lived about two weeks. This is my first full effort having an "Real" aquarium. I've always loved fish and being in the water. In 2001 I went and bought a few books after returning from a trip to maui. I was so amazed how fun it was snorkeling through the reefs and seeing all of these beautiful fish and how much fun it would be to look at them all the time. Well, after I read the books I realized how much is involved in keeping a saltwater fish aquarium that I decided to put it off for a while.
Well, last week I decided that there was no better time than now to attempt my first fish aquarium. My first stop was the pet store, needless to say that aquariums are cheap but the stands and everything are the real expensive. So I headed to craigslist. Luckily, I found a sweet lady in Danville that was upgrading her 55gallon aquarium to 200gallons. So I ended up saving around $200 buying a used aquarium instead of buying new. Whew! I just finished setting it up and it looks awesome, except there are no fish in it. With saltwater you have to wait a few weeks for the environment to grow. Now I'm looking at an empty aquarium dreaming of what fish I will stalk it with.
Patience is a virtue!
