Let's talk about the wife! The day the equipment arrived she made it very clear that although she had given the green light, she really did not want a fish tank. Skip forward to the tank arrival, she made it clear, once again that this tank was a bad idea, it would look horrible and be noisy and she made it very obvious this project did not have her full support.
The tank build! She would turn her nose up and help under duress with the parts I needed two sets of hands help with. Again, "This is your tank, I want nothing to do with it"
Now skip forward to a beautiful looking tank. Water crystal clear, live rock doing live rock stuff. I'm sitting upstairs on my computer. All day today, she shouts upstairs, maybe every 20 mins or so. "Lee" I reply yes, in that drawn out yes way "Come and have a look at this thing on the rock" 20 mins later, "Oi, Lee" again, yes dear? "what's this thing on the rock" "what's making that tapping noise" She is sitting on a chair in front of the glass waiting to spy something!
It's a beautiful thing :)
