    o good point, you should strap the dresser to the wall at a few points.

    Also, make sure she doesn't pull the fish out to "pet" them. I can think of half a dozen kids I've known who have done this... :-/

    Being raised with SW though, she probably knows better.

    Yes it should be interesting to see how she does. She already knows not to do anything unless I'm there with her. (She has experience with this on my tank) and she's very good about it. No tappin on glass ect...
    The dresser that it will be sitting on it built like a tank and I think if I even stepped on one of the drawers it would break before it would tip over. But good point and ill be watching for that. Ro unit is filling it right now. Tonight add salt and Sunday ill get some live rock to seed the dry rock I have.

    Awwwww... our little ones had tanks. Mantis shrimp... clowns.....

    It helps on their resume when they turn 16 and apply for a job at the LFS! The daughter worked at one for a few years. SCORE ON THE FAMILY DISCOUNT! YAHOO! I was sad when she changed jobs and went to Borders. :-(

    this sounds like a great idea
    will be good to see how it goes :)

    although, if her tank ends up looking better than mine... it may shatter any confidence i have in my abilities lol.

    I was actually thinking about what I could stock it with and came up with some good ideas. But, its her tank and I asked her what she wanted and she told me a clownfish and a cleaner shrimp. So, that's what it will be. Lol.
