There always seems to be red tape involved, lol.

I have decided freshwater will be cheaper and more sustainable in the long run and easier to maintain as well. I'd still like to use a sump as then I will not have to add on another filter & I can hide all the media/heaters/ugly stuff etc. in there.

Here's my list of items I think would work well for this build:

Tank
Stand
Sump
Canopy for lights over tank
Lights
Bulbs for lights--actinics will make it pop
Return pump
Plumbing
Neutral colored gravel
Large stones for decoration/hiding areas
Some kind of background (anyone know a dealer with a 3d one to gift?)
And for livestock: Peacock or African male cichlids, or some other brightly colored and hardy fish.

I need to find a breeder or someone getting out of fish I think. Anybody know anyone?

Your thoughts? Did I miss anything?

We can help you out with these parts

Tank= we can have this build as soon as you give me the size to work with
Stand= we can get a metal stand welded together and paint black
Sump= we can do this as well and we do have a 5 gallon bucket of bio-ball laying around that you can have
Canopy for lights over tank= we do have a terk two bulb 39 watt retro kit floating around some where that you can have
Lights
Bulbs for lights--actinics will make it pop= lots of used t5 39 watts bulbs you can have
Return pump
Plumbing
Neutral colored gravel
Large stones for decoration/hiding areas
Some kind of background (anyone know a dealer with a 3d one to gift?)
And for livestock: Peacock or African male cichlids, or some other brightly colored and hardy fish

hope this makes sense lol
