Saltwater Tank


Tim has been researching saltwater aquariums for a while and we started ours right after moving into the new house. You have to have a lot of patience because it is a step by step process. First, live sand, mixing salt water (you can't just use table salt!), adding a skimmer, and now we added the live rock. It is actually pretty cool, because all of these little creatures are coming out of it. There are crabs, anenomes, starfish....none of which we actually bought, it just came out of the live rock when we put it in the tank! And, we don't even have the fish in it yet!


I was dragging my feet on this project, but now that it is going, it is actually pretty cool! Logan loves it, and there is nothing in it. He kept trying to help Daddy put in the live rock and would stare in the tank and pucker his lips and put them to the glass! He loved our tank before and this one will be so much cooler.

Not as good as the real thing.....pictures don't do justice!
