This whole week I have been reading the stickys on the site. Read a few books here and there that I purchased at my LFS. I went back to the store where I saw the 150 gallon tank. I dont know if any of you have heard of Aquarium Adventure? Well I asked if they had any tanks similar to the 150 and the same company made a 30 gallon tank. Both are the same in red cherry wood color, canopy set-up, etc. The stand looks different because it does not have the glass shelves, but I guess the size would play a role in this part. I measured it and the filter my mom gave me wont fit. I did get the $120 bucks back from the skimmer(thanks Occfan023). I still have 3 days to get a refund. I think I will go to get a refund and buy a filter later on. In the future I would like some corals, live rock, damsels, cleaner shrimp, and clown fish are a must for what I atleast want. Like wayne, camaro, and salty waters recommended I started to make an idea of what I want in it for the future. My sister suggested that I can use the 30 gallon for freshwater, and the 55 gallon I have can be used for saltwater. This week I gave away many fish to friends, and some other fish will go too. You think I should do the switch of tanks? I really dont want to since it has been running for sometime now, but I'm open for suggestions.
