    I placed an order with Marinedepot yesterday for some stuff for my 93 cube.

    Berlin sump 23x12x16
    3 four inch filter socks
    Sicce Silent 5.0 return pump

    ...AND!!!

    ECOTECH VORTEC MP40!!!! :D
    (^^dont tell my wife i bought that, she'll kill me )

    gotta build my stand, and gotta buy the tank still, but its going on sale in march so im gonna hold off.

    not going to get the skimmer or the lights yet. not till its cycled.

    But this is where the tank is going to go
