I've got a big marineland bowfront (45ish gallons) I'll be setting up soon for baby's room.

Went ahead and ordered a new bubble counter from GLA. I'm looking forward to using it because I've been using cheap ones from amazon. I'm hoping this one will be completely airtight. I've been having problems getting the others I have to completely seal, even with silicone. I was going to go ahead and order a diffuser from them as well but they're still out of stock and I don't want/need the big ones. I really want to purchase a GLA reg soon.

I'm going to take full advantage of this disaster and use the down time to rethink hardscaping, stocking, plants, and tank location. I'm going to go for a walk this weekend and look around at different rocks and pieces of wood just to see if anything really stands out. I'll start switching over to a black substrate as well. I currently have the tank located against a wall between my couch and front door, but I'm wondering how it would look as a room divider between the dining and living rooms. I'll figure it out.

Day 2: cycle crashed.

Thinking about starting an aquaponics system in the living room.
