yeah I got stuff I gotta pay for too... but if the bet was larger than the sum of my bills, I'd do it.
Hell this nano is costing a crap load...
$640 so far and it'll be another $30 or so for the mag 5 and $10 for the screen for my algae scrubber.
Then I gotta get me a clean up crew.. probably gonna have 5 nice nassarius snails, 5 ceriths, 5 astreas, 1 turbo snail, 1 fire shrimp.
I do possibly want to get an orange or purple linkia again like i used to have in my 20long way back when.
I'm still deciding if I want to chance a dwarf moray eel with an open top... my yellow assessor isn't a jumper, already tested him.
I dunno what other fish I want.. lol..

I'm saying if you drill it, add a sump, etc...
kalk reactors&calcium reactors can make the startup cost go up drastically.
I'm working on getting a kalk reactor and ATO going on my Tunze... gotta see how cheap I can do it though lol.

picked up my aquamedic doser... so I'll be able to at least dose Kalkwasser even if I don't have a reactor/stirrer yet.
Drain side is glued in... gotta attach the screen and mount the turf scrubber light then pick up my mag 5 tomorrow and finish the return side plumbing.
possibly filling with water tomorrow...
