    Unfortunately, after I losing my seahorses, I had to break down the tank to go with something a little less demanding. I am building a freshwater tank that will be planted with some easy plants. I just went to the LFS and picked up lighting and substrate, so now I am ready to go. My RO system is cranking so hopefully it'll be full tonight. Here's what it looks like right now.

    I got water in there and the substrate. It was cloudy last night, but its crystal clear this morning. My first plants should be coming along later today or tomorrow.

    I picked up 3 different types of plants today to get started, as well as a few fish. It's starting to look nice... very different from a reef tank. Sorry about the bad pics. I can't do better than a cell phone right now, but I'll try to get some nicer ones with a camera later. Better than nothing though.
