    Just thought I should join up since i have been reading info off of this site for a while now. I started by doing a little 20g FOWLR tank for the kids, but I couldnt stop finding nice rocks, so it kind of turned into a rock tank with a few fish, so I picked up a 27g cube and have been spending all my available cash on it for a while now. So, the "so-far" setup consists of: Marineland 27g cube tank, Coralife 24" 2 bulb T5 HO, Marineland double bright led fixture, AquaC Remora skimmer w/ maxijet 1200, Penguin Bio-wheel 200 (mostly for surface agitation), Hydor Koralia Nano, Ehiem Jager Heater. I would like to do a small sump and get rid of the bio-wheel, but for now it will have to do, I am still trying to figure out a good setup that will fit in this small stand. Comments Appreciated (be kind & remember i'm a noob)

    Sorry for the crappy pics, i will try to get some better ones soon, the tank looks much better in person, but these will give you the general idea.

    Thanks..... I am working on re-framing my living room wall for a future tank that is going to be "built in", but this tank is going to keep me happy for a while, and I have been learning a lot since I have had it.

    That is the plan, but I still have not figured out a good setup yet :(

    The inside dimensions of the stand are only 19 1/2 W x 17 1/2 D and the door opening is only 15" wide so i am kind of limited on what i can get in there. Any Ideas would be great :)

    This is basically the tank I have:
