my 46 Gallon Bow Front

got this 46 Gallon Bow front and stand for 50 off of craigs list. I am running it as a cichlid tank right now, but when i transfer in 6 months i will set it up salt. Buying things for it slowly right now.

 

So far i have bought a Sea Clone 100 Protein Skimmer, and a Hydrometer.

 

for filtration I have a Penguin 350 (not shown) and a penguin 200= 10 x water filtration per hour.

 

its a nice looking tank

 

If you plan to go reef I would pick up a refractometer. Hydrometers can be very inaccurate.

Here is one for $25
NEW! Salinity Refractometer 4 Aquarium Pond Hydrometer - eBay (item 390109803923 end time Nov-03-09 03:47:37 PST)

 

Very nice I can't wait to see what it looks like once it's turned reef

 

Great deal! Very nice tank. Can't wait to see pictures after its transformation. Make sure to post some!!

 

Has anyone used Texas Holey Rock as base rock? The LFS store where I am moving is selling this as Base Rock, but I have gotten mixed reviews about whether or not Texas Holey Rock can be used. If it can be used, i have about 75 pounds of it in my back yard, and it would save a ton of money!
