    55G 45mins SW Chicago

    I have a 55g already setup and I bought another one and realized I dont need to spend the money on another one. It is a long style 55G with top and stand. I am asking 100 picked up, or 120 with sand bottom. No light included. Will negotiate / trade possibly.

    I bought an ammonia test kit, I have not had the money for a full test kit yet but will pick one up this week. How much live rock should I get because I cant afford alot. After everything that has happened so far, how long do you guys think it will be before I'm back in the game?
