I think he just recently started selling them on ebay. He's sold to a few people over at RC through his http://www.advanceacrylics.com/ site. The auction was a best offer. I offered him $30 less and he took it. Sweet part is that paid for all my upgrades.

The stand is a biocube28 I think. My furniture basically blocks the whole view so I just needed a stand of the right hight. Fits everything pretty well actually.

I tracked the guy down and his work looks really tight!

I also noticed if you look at his transaction history...the tanks are selling for much less than his buy it now price. The prices at a glance are amazing!

Yah, when I put my bid $30 under the price, I thought there was no way in hell he'd accept it. Then 20 minutes later I had won the auction. Definatley took me by surprise as I did it while I was bored at work. Excited to see how the quality turns out. I remember getting a quote for something similar from Envision Acylics and it was $300+ (although to be fair, the tank was a bit bigger)

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do for fish? I have zero idea the moment, and flip flop between every available fish out there.

Holy crap! There was a bit of a hold up on getting it out as he missed a document needed to ship to Canada, so it only got out yesterday. Checked the tracking number this AM, the original delivery date was next monday (pretty fast)... but now there is an updated date of TODAY. Thats 1 day shipping... not sure if it'll get here but we shall see. It left LA at 4:51am local time.

It left LA today? That seems awfully optimistic of their estimate. Unless that was 4:51am yesterday in which case it could well be cleared by customs already. Well, in any case, good luck, hope you get a tank soon!

I agree super agressive, but I wont complain if it shows up today, thats for sure!

Anyone have any fish suggestions? I have zero idea and can't make up my mind. Thought about going easy and doing some all damsels, perhaps a rose anemone + clownfish tank, etc.

this nano really had me thinking of a rose anemone garden...
