At this point I have most of the stuff for the aquarium except for the three big items: the skimmer, the calcium reactor, and the aquarium itself. A guy from the local reef club was stopping off at my preferred mailorder vender as part of a road trip, and he posted online that he was willing to pick up stuff if anybody wanted anything. Well, starting out a brand new tank, I needed a whole lot of stuff, and he had room, so it seemed like too good of an opportunity to pass up. I could get the lower prices of the mailorder place, plus no shipping charges. So I ordered a ton of stuff, and now it’s all just sitting in the dining room waiting for the “big three” items to arrive. Have patience, have patience…
Charis seems to like to play on those boxes. She might be sad when you empty them. :)

Please have us over once you get it all set up so we can see it! I know it will be beautiful and well worth the wait.

Yes Christy my dining room will be beautiful again once all the boxes are gone. :) We will have you over to see that. I tried to put a plant on top of the boxes to make the boxes blend in a little more but it did not work nor did it last long.
Also this is one of Charis favorite places to run to. She goes straight for the white box, as it is perfect height for her to rest her head on as she often does and she loves sitting things on the box as well. Little treasures for Brad to find. :)
