sure would! I would have to start researching a lot about them, but I am taking one step at a time. I have plenty of studying to do with school right now, I am working on the FAQ thing, and then I am doing a lot of research with the plants and I am also working.

Forgot about the seagrass info on Chucks site, good stuff. He even has some info on critters/corals that would be found there in the wild for those creating biotope's.

If you can get back issues of Coral magazine there's a few interesting articles there as well.

So they would basically send me a pound of plants? Hmmm....for only 10$ thats not bad at all.

Also, another little update. I let me friend borrow the 30g tank but he decided to leave it outside wath water in it. and as you can guess with winter being below freezing some water froze and left nice large cracks on one side. So it looks like I will have to be getting a new tank. Does anyone know if there are some nice sturdy plastic containers I can use for the "tank"? I am looking to have AT LEAST 30g and a max of 55. If anyone knows where I can get a tank for >60$ please inform!

Update: I dont think I will be able to use the "fish room" My mom only wants a 10g tank in there. So I might end up doing that in addition to a 45g tank looped into my 20g long frag tank all in my room. Tomorrow I will start building a stand for the tanks. Anyone know where I can get some GOOD plans online?

Also, My 30g tank got cracked. Think I should save the glass that is still in a full peice? Only one of the small sides got cracked, the rest is good.

Since I cant use the "fish room", I will have to make a stand and have it look pretty. So here is what I plan on doing.

AQUARIUM STAND CONSTRUCTION

I took 3 years of woodshop, but unfortunately my tools are not as good as the ones in the woodshop. Ill build it tomorrow and I will post pics of the step by step design here on this thread. wish me luck!

Oh, and Ill be picking up the tank tomorrow as well. I might end up with a 30 instead of a 45.
