You're telling me. Okay, a real update.
It's been quite sad really. Obviously, I haven't been able to dedicate much in the way of funds and time as I would like to this project There's a few reasons for this. Firstly Uni gets in the way of everything in September and October. Secondly, the impending USA trip (and falling Aussie dollar) has meant that I have been forced to rein in my spending. I'm having to be very careful.... I have husband looking over my shoulder eyeing me off when ever I'm carying a shopping bag.
But here it is.... sitting on its side..... just waiting...... so I finally took a photo
Being that it is to be THE show piece of my home, the tank needs to sit on something quite nice. As I've said in the past, I'm just not into pine.
In shopping around for non-pine options, I ran across a company that specialises in custom-built aquarium stands. So aside from saving for the trip, this is where I expect my future pennies to go. Here's a pic of something they built that really stood out to me as spectacular. (yes, that's a wine rack in the middle)
I have an appointment to go see them next weekend
It looks expensive. I hope Santa brings me cash for Christmas
