    Nice thing about owning a sign shop......I just blacked out the back of the tank. Now I need to make a wal-mart run to get a little nightstand to put the tank on. Don't have room on my desk.

    Ok so walmart sucked. Didn't have anything cool, so I opted for this little 3 tier book shelf. Tank is officialy born now. Im loving it. Wonder how long till the water clears up. I have 2 little pieces of live rock that I will bring with me tomorrow for it. Enjoy.

    I really want to get a tank a little bigger, maybe a 10 or 20 gallon as a boxfish only tank But this tank looks pretty sweet to have on a desk.

    Ok so being the impatient person that I am, I just went home and plucked some live rock out of my tank for this little guy.

    Wow. I know you don't want to hear this, but I had that same exact tank, but I bought mine from a LFS for only $15. It was cute, but water evaporated so quickly from it.

    Why would I not want to hear that? That's a great deal for ya. I feel that 39.99 is more than a fair price for the tank,filter and light.

    Of course evap is going to be alot (relatively speaking) I sit at my desk on a computer all day. I also have a 5 gallon bucker of ro/di water and a 5g bucket of 1.025 water. I will add a few cups of ro/di water each day and once or twice a week I will do a few water changes. I have a bathroom in my office so it's about a 10ft walk to the sink with a cup of dirty salt water :)
