Finally, the fish gods have shed some light onto me.
The other day, I picked up a new 55g tank from Petco at the dollar per gallon sale. My dream upgrade, even though most of you say the 40b footprint is better, I went with this guy for the space. There is one down side, the glass is tempered. Which, I can work through anyway.
I also ran out to Home Depot, got the wood I needed, and the screws, glue, and stain to make my stand. The stand will be open. As this tank will NOT have a sump.
Highly considering getting Dr. Tim's to cycle this tank, because I can't wait a whole month for this!
I also ordered a 50lb box of rock online. Should be here by the end of this week.
I will be building the stand later today, and then mounting the tank. Until the rock comes, that's as far as I will go.
I plan on running a Reef Octopus HOB Skimmer, along with an AC110. As for lighting, that will be a work in progress, because being a student, and expensive items don't really match well!
Pics are to come later today, as I build the stand!
