Very nice. I’m finally able to sit back and enjoy too. But I still have room to add. So much fun.
We keep debating whether we still have room to add.. I think not, although i would kill for a copperband and an Australian stripey

Yeah….that is always the debate….can I add just one more? If you are going to have corals, just be careful about the fish you add. I’ve found that “safe with caution” usually ends up being not safe.

Coral will definitely going in, we have a frag tank holding a bunch of coral waiting to go in.. I was conservative when setting up the new Cade display. No coral for a year. I stand by it! :)

Looks awesome, congrats. I spend more time watching tanks than TV. Of course it helps that I have a tank in the living room, dining room, bedroom and basement. Just need that Pico tank in the bathroom :face-with-tears-of-joy:
I keep my options open when the missus watch boring stuff such as Bones :D We have blue room- and a green room..

FW in the living room, SW in the garage conversion. Compromise when the missus dont want the blue light in the living room

I love it. You can watch fish and pretend your watching TV. I have to look away from the TV so I get busted and have to hear "I thought you said you were going to watch this with me" in a whiney voice. Lol
