    It doesnt matter if anyones tank is not ready as long as they have one and have future plans and the build is in progress.Trust me if wasnt for my wife complaining about the 20g on the counter mine would not be ready either.I had to sell my 55 freshwater tank to get some money to get this one up and running.Its ok though because i love this size tank i just wish my stand was a little taller but it gives me a reason to use my folding sports chairs.8)

    No worries on the camera. Yea the wallet and wife won't allow for a bigger tank. Maybe when I win the lotto. But you know what they say, you can't win the lotto if you don't buy tickets

    Here's mine, just upgraded from a 29BC a few weeks ago. It's a 40B with coast to coast overflow, bean animal system, DIY Rapid LED 36 fixture, 2x Evo 750s controlled by the Hydor Smartwave, a 20 gal sump/fuge with a Reef Octopus 110 skimmer, a Mag 7 return, and a DIY ATO system.
