Please let your uncle know that I’m your long lost relative. Now, where’s my tank? ;D


Congratulations. I guess this means you’ll be changing your avatar? Last time I checked 125 gallons doesn’t qualify as a nano.

Now get those pictures up asap....we want pictures. Can’t wait.
 
well, on the ride home from deleware today...(sucky drive)...i was thinking about it. im gonna rebuild my stand a bit so the 40 fits inside. the stand is tall enough, but not deep enough. and yes, im gonn make it a big fuge. and then i have a 20gal sump, which will just have the phos reactor the skimmer attached to it. still in the planning stages, but i sure wanna rush and set it up, but im sure not gonna!! lol

back of the stand. you can see where i took out the two braces. added some 2x4's to the top and bottom, so i can reattach new braces to the back of them. which would give me the room to fit my 40 in there...
