make a wish is an awesome organization that make wishes come true for children with critical illness. you could meet anyone, go anywhere, have anything etc. I have a disease called cystic fibrosis so I am eligible to make a wish!

Today I had a zoom meeting with some make a wish people to finalize my wish. of course, we had to take my love for fish into consideration. so I decided the thing I truly want most, Is a remodel of my fish room! now, our house is old and gross, so a remodel sounds heavenly. I have always wanted a nice place where I can enjoy my hobby. we started talking about what I could do. they said they want me to come up with detailed plans of what I had imagined of my fish room. Im really exited to get started. I dont know how long this process takes but I will put updates.

Sorry about your illness thats not a good one to have for sure. Hugs. Make sure you include a cozy corner nook to sit and watch the fish! Are you thinking like 2 walls of tanks? Or one giant tank? This is so awesome! So excited to see the progress!

I have an old rolling office chair so I can roll from one tank to another. Just an idea.

Google cozy bedroom corner nook. There are some cool ones with like a big flat bed looking couch with tons of pillows. Thats what I was thinking.

I'm sorry to hear about your health. Stay strong.

I hope you don't forget to get it all plumbed in for automatic water changes. I've done this for my daughters fish tanks. Would you mind if I put the pictures up ... I never miss an opportunity to show them off . Not quite finished though as you can see in the photo

I'm really pleased to hear that you have this wonderful opportunity.

this is what the room will look like after the remodel. the area with couches and tv has always been there, but the rest of the room is mine the 20gallon and 50 bowfront by the window, I already own. the the rack of 4 10 gallons is something that I want. any suggestions on where to put them? what else do you think I should do? aslo, do these links even work

that's what I was thinking. do you think I should do something more?

If you want to do one rack thats fine but if you want to breed fish you probably are going to want 1-2 more racks

Just my preference anyways.

that is true. the rack Im thinking of using can hold up to 6 tanks actually, I dont know why my mind was so set on just 4 tanks. I think 6 would be a nicer number though.

okay. things have been slow, but they have just emailed my mom and she signed some documents. I doubt many people are still watching this thread and getting nonifications, so I will create a new thread when things start getting real. super exited

I just got a notification for it. No need for a new thread unless you want to.

I think that qualifies as progress at least!
