wow great looking fish store...

and I love those puffers lol they are so cute. If I were to get one, my wife would go into a squee spree!

 

if you need help with picking fish, here is what I put in mine

lol but seriously nice build thread so far Im thinking about buying one of thoes myself now that I saw one in person at the fish store, they had a green banded goby, a red head goby and some sexy anemone shrimp with a few different mushrooms, zoas, and ricordea in theirs

 

rofl you and that photoshop crack me up!!!:LolLolLol

 

wow im loving how detailed your getting with this build, its cool to see the price tag on everything, oh and I can't have a tank on my desk, I'd never get anything done!!!

 

lol I was gunna put a bunch of sps in there too but thats alot of work just for a joke

 

haha sweet man that is a really cool idea i to do something like that i have it about 1 foot away from my bed so when i go to sleep i can watch my fishy

 

yeah my gf would kill me if I had a fish tank next to the bed lol she hates the fact that a I have a tank in my room at all, she says the running water makes her have to go to the bathroom haha ;D
