That's how I roll , lol.. Like I said I bought most of it a few months ago and was keeping it at my friends house .. I'm going to pick up my black clowns on Tuesday .. Guy said they are about 2" and laying eggs! Hope they are peaceful as they will be my 1st fish... I've emptied the skimmer 2 times already! It's surprising because I'm not even feeding yet...

Nice to see you back Jim. I haven't had any tanks at all since I sold my 70 gal quarter cylinder tank about 6 months ago. Plan on getting a reef set up again once my finances are better. I had bought a Fluval Edge with the top glass removed (making it a rimless) from the last reef meeting I went to 6 months ago thinking I would do a pico reef. That never happened I just set it up 2 days ago as a Walstad natural planted tank. I have never done planted tanks before. Something to occupy me until the next reef ;)
