well, im pretty much always in trouble of some sort, sometimes its just worse than others. right now things are pretty good.
i actually found out just a few days ago that im actually getting a 75 gallon tank and stand for my birthday! (12 days and counting
) its going to be a project though. all i am getting is the tank (perfecto or AGA, havent decided yet,) and the stand. the rest is up to me.
i am counting on about $300 from friends and relatives, and with that i am going to buy the lighting. right now i am looking at Nova extreme t5s. my dad is going to help me convert an old 20 long into a sump / fuge, and i will have to upgrade my skimmer to an in sump. there is a lot of other equipment im looking at too, but im not really sure what all ill actually be getting, though.
believe me, ive got like 800 lists sitting in front of me. prices, brands, # estimations of dead sand and base rock, you name it.
