    Algae scrubber

    I ran the algae scrubber today to see how it would work and it worked perfect there is alot of flow over the screen with the mag drive pump on it so there should be really good growth. :beer:

    New tank

    Yesterday i went by my lfs and got a complete new setup for a 150 bucks so i will be upgrading my tank to a 150. Couldnt believe he sold me everything he did for that price and i just got the tank clean and theres not a scratch on it.

    Congrats on the new setup, looking forward to seeing a new thread for the 150, when do you plan to start?

    Looks great, im inspired to set up a tank in my office, its not likely to be as nice though. How is that skimmer working, I love equipment reviews for future purchases
