Hello all! I am getting ready to start a new build. After a few years with my first rimless tank (5 gallon), I wanted another- but this time I wanted a larger one. I had been considering ADA, Mr. Aqua and Aquatop tanks for a while, but couldn't justify the price. Well, luckily enough, today while shopping at Petsmart, they had the Marineland 20 gallon rimless combo (tank, stand, cover and light normally $240) on clearance for $120. It was sort of an impulse buy, but I decided it would work well for my budget. The silicone work is okay- not what you'd expect from ADA, but it's fine with me.

Planned Flora:
I'm not sure what fauna to get for the tank yet. I am thinking pygmy cories, ember tetras, CPDs and/or scarlet badis. I'm open to suggestions.
Dosing:
I have mixed liquid ferts that I will be dosing 2-3 times per week, following the EI method.
