Way to go!
Wish I have a store right underneath MY bar!
Can't wait to see it done. Wait, maybe not....might just start something that I don't want to get into...

Maybe with a shoe horn and some glue I could squeeze the carpet in eh? I have a RBTA in my 230g that's fairly large so I don't want to take up the whole tank with a BTA.

will be following along for sure
I like the idea of a maxi mini tank to but not the work to get them all off the rocks in my other tanks Plus I checked with my work and they're going to try to get a flaming prawn goby in for me So if they can I'll set it up as a reef if not I'll lean towards the maxi mini's.

Yes my bar comes fairly stocked but only with extra reef stuff not booze

BTW thanks for working out a deal for the Eco pico light, I picked it up along with a heater today.

Eco pico light (going to add 2 more led light strips to it and a dimmer that wonderful Grizz said he'd pick up a deliver to me )


Heater (very odd really flat heater but it's supposed to work)


But the above was picked up today and I'm getting ahead of myself....

I bought the same heater for my old planted Betta nano. It blew up :P but worked well before hand

I purposely avoided marineland stealth 10W heater for that reason, why/how did the odd flat hydor heater blow? Thinking maybe I should take it back

Not to sure I only had it for maybe 2 months? The guy at big als told Mr to bury it under the substrate, could've been part of it, I think it couldve over heated there easily. I don't generally listen to those guys anymore :P
It will be perfect for the back chamber though, I bet it fits just perfect

I think my tank at the office evaporates more water in a 14 hour period than this tank can hold..

Looking good so far, Laurie.

The packaging it came in said you could bury it under "gravel" maybe sand substrate holds the heat in more? Maybe that made it blow? I do have it in the back chamber of the ibox and it does fit perfectly.....now as long as it doesn't blow it'll be all good
