Well, here it is, the overwinter home for my tropicals. The Nigerian Coffee tree's were truly #@!$ed so they have lost the leaves but due to the lighting they were already getting happier and have new leaves growing (my honey was worried...so much so she wouldn't say anything until I pointed out the new leaves, lol). So, here we have a Banana, Tangerine, Orange, Key Lime, Nigerian Coffee and Lemon. The Banana has been moved in the tank since I took this pic, but the mini rose can stay out there, I just put it in there for the ambient light!

So, now that I have built a lid (super HEAVY duty, hemlock trim) for our baby dragon tank, a 50 gallon one, we have an empty tank. So there I am looking at it...thinking....now it can't be used for fish. I got a pic but didn't bring it with me. I decided it needed to be for my trees, my baby trees. My orange, lemon, key lime, nigerian coffee...tangerine. I was able to get them all in it, with the banana and a mini rose sitting just outside of it. There is a full spectrum bulb in it as the person who gave it to me was growing a wide variety of water plants in it so this is good. Very good. They have light, heat, they should all do SO well this winter. I used to take a drop down shop light and put full spectrum bulbs in it on a basic frame for winter time and my tropicals but this is way better. Don't know why I never thought of it before, maybe it is because I never had large, empty tanks laying around that couldn't be used as a fish tank anymore?

Have to get pics, have more on the way...My Mom got me tree's for my Birthday! So far, I have an Orange, Tangerine, Key Lime, and BONUS Lemon. I say BONUS because I unplug it last night to pot it, and go 'Hm, that's odd'...and get an *emergency* pot...it had a little one next to it. So I go to plant it again, after potting the little guy. Think...'Hm, that's odd'...and get ANOTHER emergency pot. I have 3 Lemon tree's! WOO HOO! These are all bound to be bonsai.
I will put up pics soon as I take them!
Thanks Mom!
