    That's awesome!!!!!The airvalve and fittings look to be quality parts...... So, what's left equipment-wise. Got the light and skimmer. Return pump, sand, rock?

    Awesome, let us know what you think of it.
    I was going to suggest the in-80 from vertex.
    I love my vertex

    That looks like a really nice skimmer. Looks like a bubble king without the high price tag. I saw one of the neo nano tanks at the LFS today, it looks pretty awesome man. Very interesting tank, they have it set up as a small frag tank there.

    Thanks Zack. Did they have sand in theirs? I am going back and forth on that.

    Nope, just bare bottom - frags for sale. I would put sand in it though, just my opinion. It has a very clean look, and some nice white sand with a couple islands of rock would be sweet. They had two viper halides over it.

    Thanks Zack - leaning toward sand - didn't mean to derail thread - thought I was on my other one for a sec. :p If anyone wants to follow up on sand, please PM or use my other thread in general board.
