1000 posts doesn't mean anything when it's junk.

How is that helpful?

 

Do you have the lighting yet? If not you should probably research how bright they are. I don't think the 18" model would be enough.

ya, i heard the marineland led isnt very strong, i think?

 

i really like the name of this thread, i wish ihad come up with it... :rant:

 

Unfortunately I already purchased the Marineland only to find out later it is not the best. I'm gonna start off with fish and then ease my way into corals. I see a lighting upgrade in my future.

 

Right now I just want the tank to come in one piece..

Well it shouldn't be too large of an issue. From what I hear the spread from front to back is rather narrow, but it is enough for low-med light corals.

I'v been MIA since my Camera took a dookie, but I got a new GoPro Hero2 yesterday. As for lighting my marineland decided to go swimming in my tank so fixed my lighting issues. I now have a JBJ unibody 54 and I love it.

Newest edition is this deep green BTA. About 3" in diameter.

My BTA sits in the skull of my T-Rex rock.

I call it my T-Rex rock because IT LOOKS LIKE A MOFO'in TREX!!!

 

See for yourself...

I was so bummed out when my tank came like that! Did you order through Marinedepot? Thats where I ordered from and they shipped it way better the second time around.

Yes, it was through Marine Depot. They shipped a new one within the hour. I had read a couple post about this happening when I researched the tank. One was probably yours. I thought, what could be the chances of it happening to me too? Heh. I was pretty pissed. I really wanted to see the tank. Still waiting on the stand so I guess it doesn't matter anyway.

 

It seemed to be packed well. The JbJ box was inside another huge box with about a million peanuts. My cat went nuts lol.

Haha I had to keep my kittys from getting in there and possibly getting cut. My tank was shattered even with the box within a box shipping. The second time I received my tank there was sprayed insulation foam between the boxes which could probably get hit by a bat and not break it....makes you wonder why they don't just do that every time. :huh:

 

+1, I really like your scape. It looks pro.

 

 

Thanks! I must have rescaped 5+ times and its actually different since my last pics of it. I think I have found my happy scape. :happy:
