You people just don't know how to clutter up your homes with stuff. I mean, I noticed some bare wall space in some of those photos.

Not too much here devoted to the seashore, but there's some.

Here's my tribute to the seashore and to crustacean dinners, including the 7.75 lb lobster that I proudly ate myself (followed by a pound of butterfly shrimp and ice cream).:)

Wow, that lobster had a lot of claws!

I don’t decorate the space around the tank because I want it to be the main focus in that part of the room.
But I saw some photos that I loved with decorations around the tank.

I painted the wall behind the Aquarium Dark Blue. I wanted to build the inside of a Sunk Rotting Wooden Ship on that Wall. Had someone lined up that did Theater Props, and then Covid Hit. Thinking about Building a Sunk Poop Deck, since that is simpler, and I have a Couple of old Solid Wood Panel Doors, and other Salvaged wood pieces from demolitions. BTW, If you plan on painting a wall a Dark Color, be prepared to put Three or Four Coats on it, for it to look right, with a week of dry time between coats. Was told by a Professional Painter, I should have painted two coats of flat black first.

Mine is a part of my living room and thus a piece of the decor. (I swear my phone camera HATES the blue light, I don't know how you all get such good pictures)

You just need an orange lens. I use a 52mm orange lens clip for most footage. I also like to use the orange and yellow filters together: https://amzn.to/3PBJe8b
