How dangerous do you think it would be to put a gold coins in the tank and keep it there in the sandbed?
Just a few old gold coins that I am thinking might look cool in the bottom sandbed.
Thoughts?

i think it would be fine, great idea too, just remember now that there has been treasure in there before she might think that's her treasure too...tobin

Great job RFB I am using that one on my anniversary Sunday
I upgraded my wife to a 3ct from 1.5ct also not to change the subject but I noticed you have a CC bed in that tank do you have probs cleaning it or with any of your cleaning crew if you have any.

Nope. No issues cleaning.
I am a one man saltwater Mythbusters army.
In defense, my CC is super fine. More like course sand. Never had any issues with it. Had to run heavy substrate because I run extreme flow.
make sure and take pictures of when you put the ring in the tank. Would love to see it.

She is being super patient, and this morning I woke up to some cash in the empty DT..Yes also sitting in living room floor.
Attached was the following note- first corals on me. (80.00) I slowly looked over both shoulders like I was a raccoon sitting at the edge of a trap,.... but snatched it and ran to the lumber yard!
Nice work with the ring! Nobody leaves me money for my tank
Usually I'm opening my wallet at lunch and going WTF? After 17 yrs together she occasionally will leave me a note to let me know there was a raid on my wallet.
Once again well played

Shoot I thought my husband throwing my engagment ring into my margarita at dinner was a great idea.. everyone in the resturant knew what was going on but me. That was an awesome idea you did tho, its going to be something special she will remember forever.

And Bump for tizzo, I never saw this thread!
The ring was a great idea.
The sentiments behind the size of each stone was incredibly special. The anniversary of that day is right around the corner, lol. You can show her "what happened a year ago".
Your very sweet. Guys like you are one in a million.

I considered this approach, but well, decided it was best to not incorporate my fish tank into a proposal.
