The 56 gallon fish cabinet

May 18th
Bry bought a 56 gallon fish tank for big fish. We didn't have a cabinet for it to sit on, and since we needed a cabinet that would hold around 500-600 pounds; Bryan built one.

Here is it being put in place, and the sand and water being added. We are still working on looking for some big rock, as well as picking out plants. Once the tank is completely established, we will get the fish--one of the fish Bry is considering is an electric blue Jack Dempsey--their coloring is bright blue--but a lot like an oil spill! They are quite cool!

Casper is excited about what is going on.
If you look at the side of the picture, you will see the dishwasher open--that is what I got to do, while everyone else got to be excited about the fish tank and cabinet! Poor Porsche!

Now come on! It's all about water!! And I'd about rather deal with dishes then fishes...
And the fish on the blog site - can they get over fed?? HA! They sure get excited every time they are fed... even just minutes apart. :>)
And really you should just look at Cea and Casper - they are much cuter then fish!! :>) And prolly not much more work!! :>P

That's the way.. a bona fide country/farm boy...if you want something done right, do it yourself! The fish tank is going to be amazing. You guys have really gone fish crazy. I'm with Laurel on the feeding Mircea's fish on this blog. I have to click a bit every time I visit. I love seeing pictures of all your fun times!
