Finally.
Get to share my tank.
Here goes......(big breath in)
.....started with freshwater, planted, high tech, whole nine yards blah....sold it. Tried saltwater in a 2.5gal after a ton of research. Got good at the nano thing...Dang. Not big enough. However, liked the cube look and like doing things myself, built my first 9gal AGA. Built my skimmer, and nano-bio-pellet reactor (not shown), the light stand (adjustable) and light mount. Why so small u ask?
Not a fan of a huge maintenance costs!
So I keep it pretty simple and cost effective.
Actually, my wife keeps it cost effective....:cry:
