Here is my 55 gallon, the only one i have right now, but i just changed all the gravel to natural looking and all live plants... im going to shop for some driftwood next week because i had fake plastic decorations before, and after looking at everybody else's i realized the real stuff looked so much better! very exciting

I like the Cats Keep Out sign.

I remember moving my 37 gallon tank around the house, I can't imagine moving a 55 gallon.

surprisingly it wasn't that bad... i had been wanting to change the gravel and deco. anyway... just scooped it out with a dustpan, then we took it outside and sprayed it out with the hose, slid it in the backseat, and set it up at the new place. The worst part was the fish... i used some old water and put it in an old one gallon piture. It took about an hour to get the new one set up and they looked a little stressed by the time they were put in, but they are fine now... and no casualties!
