Sounds awesome man, cant wait to see the progress of this tank

 

I went with a small tank also for a similar reason but mine being school and a limited budget

 

i find it very easy to care for the tank i guess because im super anal about water changes at least 1-2 times a week

 

check out my build

 

as for your light i saw dave selling that and its a badass fixture

Really hoping you post pics when you start this tank!

Side note: My wife and I discovered a few weeks ago that we're expecting our first child! Our first Dr. appointment is set for 09/03/14. As it's our first, I'm extremely happy, but nervous at the same time.

Gonna break the news to my parents over this coming weekend, they will be thrilled!

Thanks man!

And yes. Water changes once a week is not so bad. Whats bad is the amount of water you change. Doing 1 or 2 gal a week on this tank is better compared to 10gals a week lol

I'll definitely check out your thread man!

That light is pretty cool. Cant wait to get my hands on it!

Will post pics when I receive everything. I promise lol

 

And congrats man! A kid is an amazing experience! My little girl thinks of me as I am superman or something lol She's 4 and has been begging for a little brother/sister. And we have been thinking of having one as well. But it will be our last kid, even tho kids are fun, I don't want to have tons of them running around everywhere lol

Congrats on the upcoming addition to your family! Will be following this one along as I plan on getting this tank myself. Already got a 10" and 14"cube from them. If you haven't seen the aquatop tanks in person yet, they're beautiful

I've never had a TruAqua. But heard good stories. And can't beat the free shipping on them! I'm about to order mine right now! :D

I'll let you go first. I already bought the last 14" cube and second to last 10" before they sold out lol. The one time I talked to customer service, they were very kind and helpful so that's another plus

Really glad you stayed in it man. Looking forward to the build!

Thx you two! ;)

 

Now I cant decide which to go with, AquaClear 50 or 70? I feel like the 70 will be too much for it. Idk.

Just bought a 50. :)

 

What are your plans for the aquaclear? You could always get the 70 and slow down the flow if you think it'll be too much

Gunna mod it to have chemiclean, filter foam, and the heater in there. Thats it. Went with the 50 to save space on the tank.

Now that I think about it I still owe you some zoas, maybe a nice gift for the new tank. Think I have a 5p aog with your name on it. Don't have much since my health issues
