    haha lol you shoulda bought it. I think their a great size, fits perfectly in my room without taking up to much space, but yet their not as small as the nanos so you can have a little bit larger fish, but i'll be sticking with fish on the smaller side, i think the wrasse is going to be the biggest. The 36" length also lets there be enough room to keep my puffer's 20 gall where it is, so i have 2 tanks on one wall, plus a small bookshelf for all of my school stuff :D

    46 bowfront is my favorite 36" size I think...except for the 90 gallon cube I saw at the LFS once :D

    You have alot more wiggle room to aquascape because of the bow. When something like a 55 is super skinny IMO, the bow on the bowfront helps out alot.

    Congrats on the pics! And I'm starting to believe more and more that your tons of rock is the cause of the longer cycle. But when it's over, you'll have the beastliest bioload capabilities in all of CA :D

    hahaha lol i'm already starting to think of where i'm going to place corals! i don't really have any flat/level areas on my rock except for the top row, so i don't know how i will make frags stay on the rocks.

    lol i love the look of a lot of rock, i only have a tiny bit touching the glass. And i think i have plenty of room left for fish to swim.

    And i think your right also about the lots of rock = long cycle. I've been seeing the dead rock starting to get covered in diatoms and coralline, and boy do i have a lot of dead rock.
