I know it's kind of dumb...

but I'm so excited, I just have to share!  :)

I've just finished the initial setup, so it still looks pretty bare.  It 
ain't no Amano-style "Downtown Seattle skyline in glossostigma, with riccia 
Mount Rainier in the distance," but it makes me happy.  You can't really see 
my favorite part from the picture, which is that the floating "raft" of 
duckweed slowly rotates counter-clockwise in the surface current, which 
creates a really nifty dappled light effect. 

I'm SO happy that I was FINALLY able to find the rocks I wanted!  I searched 
all over town today, and had given up, when the clerk at Borders (where I 
was purchasing the latest issue of FAMA to cheer myself up) spontaneously 
mentioned a pet store around the corner.  I stopped in (little hoping for 
any luck) and there they were!  My rocks! 

Must go get some sleep now.

P.S. I just took another look at the picture, and feel compelled to point 
out that the thing at top center is a sponge filter (to seed the water), and 
not a floating urinal cake.
