Making things look pretty

[plum70rt]

I like to share a simple fix to a common problem, hiding some reef
equipment,I recently added an auto water topoff using a 30 gallon drum to store RO/DI water its dosed with a timer, to add the 2+ gallons of water I lose a day,the drum dont look bad ,but my wife hates it , so being a good hubby I did this to hide some of the stuff, a round tablecloth was used , 10.00 and 20.00 for the silk plants, everyone is happy

looks like something some women would like, but to me it would look better with a fish tablecloth

Very nice plum. I have discovered at the young age of 25 that you have to keep mamma happy. Or to be politicly correct your significant other.

Hey Plum, are you going to go bake a cake for the board next Turn off martha stuart!!!
Just kidding, it does look better.

Plum,
As gorgeous as your tank is, there's darn little that would distract me from focusing on the tank!! But I certainly agree that keeping the wife happy is a most important task

Nice touch Plum !
Don't tell your wife you could rig up an auto houseplant watering system ..... she'll want to use all of the good Ro water for her plants
Keeping the wife happy is always a good idea - especially around the tank area !

LOL... I guess my husband is "lucky"... he's got a wife that is as addicted to the hobby as he is!

Plants? , Im the planter around here too, I planted all the cool trees and plants around my house,my wife does not want to break a nail , or touch dirt, now I have to load some bullets into magazines so I feel better,
