Almost finished 40 gal upgrade

Post by NovaBelle » Mon Jan 08, 2018 11:22 pm

For Christmas my husband surprised me with a 40 gallon tank and let me have free reign decorating and upgrading from the 29 tall we had previously. The new light came in today and I couldn't wait to show ya'll how good it's looking. I have some suction cup shelves coming in, some Choya wood, and a few more hanging plants and it will be finished. I hope you guys like it as much as I do. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Awww... good husband! Well done! :D

Those succulents look good... are any of them real?

Wow!! So beautiful and definite kudos to your husband! I love the all natural look. What is that awesome big cave thing on the right and where did you get it from? Beautiful!

Your tank looks amazing though. Great job decorating. :)

Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.
