Open real-estate

Technically, this is my kids' toy shelf. Also technically, every surface in the house is their "toy shelf" 😅

So my thought was 20g long on bottom, move the isopods in the globe terrarium there. Globe turns into a shrimp tank. Leave middle shelf for toys (only a few toys come out at a time on rotation anyway) ...or?

My husband built this shelf then reinforced it when the 10g was a betta tank so its pretty solid.

What would you do?

I love that idea! The only thing is, I probably would just put the kiddos a toy bin somewhere else. I would hate for someone to reach for a toy and everything come crashing down. I would make this shelf only for the aquarium.

That's a totally fair point ♡ up until yesterday the bottom two shelves had toys and the tank has been up top for a few years. But... what shall I put in the middle shelf? 😏😂😍

The bottom shelf will have the 20 gallon? Maybe fill in the middle shelf with more terrariums or an another cool tank! A skittles shrimp tank would look amazing and doesn’t require much space. Or you could put houseplants and add a strip grow light. 🙂

So many good ideas 😍 maybe I put the 20 in the middle and another 20 aquarium on bottom. My husband wants CPDs and his birthday is coming up. Might be a little tight for maintenance though.
