I am totaly excited about getting home and setting up this tank. i absolutly love it here in norway by the ocean but it will also be very nice to be back to colorado. I want nothing else but to do this right so that my fish are happy in the tank. the ocean if FULL of life up here. every time we put out the net\crab traps we get arrout 15 very large dungenous crabs that are delicious. we put out the net about 5 times durring this trip. there is also a lot of good fish. and the rock underwater are covered in coraline and lots of other plants as well as some cool-water coral.

Evan, took some pics for you of my
skimmer next to the cabinet so you can compare the height. My
skimmer is 20" so you can easily have one that is 22"
Glad you had fun in Norway- hope you took lots of pics for us.
Perhaps you can pick up a few things for me with mom's credit card?
