    If it leaks that's what I will do. Good idea.

    Assuming this holds. How many fish can I put I'm thinking to do Fowler for a while until I can manage the tank properly. I want to make a sticking list. Any must haves.

    So everything holds!!!! No leaks. At all. So happy can get back to it now. So now that I have running water. I have decided to with a Fowlr for now. As we all know lights are expensive. So trust me lights for six feet of tank is expensive. Going to take some saving. So fowlr but going to be best ever of course. So the plan is to start with small fish that will grow with me and tank and time. Any ideas?
