The Big Fish Saga

Allright.  Now that I'm done bragging about my Safari Success, I'll get back to the Big Fish Saga.  OK, the last we talked about it, Little Man won some fish at the fair requiring a brand new tank and some accessories.  Without gravel.

Seriously!  How is it that two Walmarts, a K-mart and a pet store were all out of gravel!?!  I finally went to the closest Pet Supermarket and hit the jackpot!  I walked out of there with my 20 pounds of gravel along with an air pump, a bubble blowing diver and some air tubing.  I was looking for the Ring of Fire (reference Finding Nemo that I've probably seen 1,000 times), but it was (1) out of stock and (2) seriously out of my price range anyway.

I don't know; maybe I'm quite biased, but I've got one of the coolest tanks around.  Ever.  The decorations are so me, and the diver reminds me of my dad who dove for the first 15 years of his heavy marine construction career.  Even the Nemos seem to like everything.

Except the water seems to be a little cloudy.  I'm not sure what's going on... if it is the gravel or the added decorations or the bubbles are over aerating, but we will see if it clears up.  Wish me luck!

So far we have almost a $100 investment in this sucker, so I don't want to see any fish with their bellies up!
