109: Laural Mansion, Part 1 of 3 - 'Men who move mountains start with the smallest stones'


Hello friends, family and fellow humans around the world!  

Thank you for visiting my blog and sharing in the fun of my hobby.  

Over the next few weeks you will be seeing this tank.  I had to split up the fun.

This tank was setup in the most wonderful home I rented a few years ago with my fiancĂ©e Jennifer in the Minneapolis's Bryn-mar neighborhood.  This home was ~5,200sq ft and Victorian from 1889 (originally).

With Jennifer's photography, this tank becomes one of my favorite tanks. Thank you again, Jen, for taking such wonderful photos. (As you browse the images clicking on them enlarges the photos.)

Enjoy!
Andrew

37 gallon tall aquarium 
Eclipse 3 hood (no filter) (2, 18w 10k bulbs.)

You may have noticed I didn't have a post last week and this one is a day late. A lot has been on my plate and the little down time I had I didn't feel like working on this bog.  The reason I relate this info is to share some of my new found wisdom.  For me to enjoy my hobby and have my eyes focused on the tank I put the fish that please me most.

I've kept my head out of the news lately; it's been getting me down just turning on the radio.  I haven't denied myself of news however. Living with politics sometimes mean you have to pick sides and that's asking for much right now.  I contributed my FIRST $20 for 'Obama 2012' yesterday. Now it's only $999,999,980 to go!



Song of the week: TV on the Radio - Will do



Oh! Big wheel!
