looks nice. I am not sure I am sold on the statue, but each to their own.

Thats cool that your daughter wants to be a part of your tank. My 7 yr. old son loves to stare at my tank and offer suggestions. Your off to a good start... you just need time for things to grow out.

It could have been worse. At least it's not Sponge Bob.

Watch out for these palys. I have them in my tank and they will quickly take over every surface that they can stretch to. Since they have a fairly large diameter they actually overshadow and kill other zoas/palys. I would keep them on a rock that is not touching any other. In 6-12 months you'll thank me. Tank looks good!
