It was storming pretty bad a few minutes ago while was doing dishes and apparently the only safe place in the entire how was on my feet... Ruby was on one and Hannah was on the other...

Puffington Palace is almost ready for it new inhabitants! I have ordered 5 more dwarf puffers to go with the one I got the other day for a total of 6 the tank is a 40 gallon long that has been setup and fully cycled for several years. Today I moved the neon tetras that have been living in it into my 75 gallon and rescaped the 40 adding sand on top of the thin layer of substrate that was in it already. I am hoping my local fish store will get a decent order of plants in this week so I can add some tall stem plants to the back. So what do you guys think? Its still a little cloudy but should clear up in a few hours.

Not this time but that might have distracted them from the storm if I had been.

Thank you my friend! I hope the little puffers are happy in it. I still can't get over how tiny the one I got is. He's is a small glass until his tank clears.

Puffington Palace looks like so much fun. The aquascape is stunning.
Reefing and corals are such ana amazing and beautiful thing to be a part of, but there will always be something special, that I miss about my freshwater days.
 
The Mrs took Duke boating today. I didn’t go because the pontoon doesn’t have a tv on it. She just sent me this picture.
