Hello everyone. First post, first time stepping into this world of beautiful fish!
My wife grew up with father who was passionate about fish. So he taught her everything she knows. The woman can tell you anything about any fish at any time. I have been so intrigued lately I have jumped on board with her. Well just recently her father passed away. The final thing he spoke of doing, with a so much passion, was to breed Angelfish. In fact, my wife and I just recently married. Her father, who was terminally ill with thyroid cancer, sat down with me, and read over my vows. He couldn't talk much, but he smiled at me, and put the vows into a book called "Raising and Breeding Angelfish." It was something he had a lot of passion to do, but couldn't do it. So when we returned home, we bought a tall 45 gallon and a mated pair of Angels to get this dream of his started.
Well to our surprise, he had left my wife a large 180 gallon Sea Clear Acrylic Show tank, brand new in the box. This sparked that look. That look you know when someone loves something so much that their eyes convey every bit of emotion. I know how deep her memory of raising fish goes. Her father and her worked countless days and nights raising fish together when she was younger. I've heard hundreds of amazing stories about the bond they had created due to care and love of fish. So I'm pretty onboard with making our own memories with this endeavor. The man left her everything she could ever need to put together a solid tank, lights, filters, the works. The thing we're lacking is a stand.
We don't own any gear for building a stand, or I would give it my all to build this for my beautiful wife. We also really don't know anyone who is very handy with this sort of project, as I've looked desperately. So after seeing so many amazing builds, and true heart put into these amazing projects I've seen, I thought I would reach out here for some help with this.
My wife and I just recently got married, which drained our savings, but then her father passed, and we're now helping the family with funeral costs. So we're spread pretty thin. I need to find a cost effective solution so I can get this stand built for her. My wife is passionate about fish, and their care. I know this would be a wonderful thing for her to have to ease her sadness. I'd be happy to work with someone on this, or accept any suggestions or thoughts.
I thank you for taking the time to read our story. God bless!
