So I'm bumping this because I've figured out that I have no idea what the hole on the back of the tank is for. It's drilled in the overflow with a threaded fixture on it. Other than that I should be a week or so from water and rock in this thing.

I picked up a 70g reef setup today for $170. Included was the tank, stand, canopy w/ fans, Marineland halide fixture and bulbs, sump and pump, timers, hoses, etc. This will be my first saltwater build to go with my 55g and 6g Edge tanks. It will be a long running project since this was a spur...

Between $110-$140 depending on where you get it No it will be 5 RCS, 5 neons, and my angel that I rescued from my other tank.

Yeah I really do love the tank, but I'm a big fan of clean and simple. As long as they are kept clean they are beautiful.

No it will house some tetras too, and my small angelfish from the other tank. We noticed he looks like he's been through a war and was probably being bullied by the gouramis so he got moved to the Edge last night.

My Edge 6gal as of earlier today when I went on a hunt for some rocks down by the water. I'll be stocking it tomorrow when I head up to That Pet Place in Lancaster, PA. Unfortunately the local stores closer to me all have limited stock, and no choices for shrimp. I'm open to suggestions for...

Lol no its definitely my first, I just have a couple good friends who are avid saltwater lovers who are able to help me out and give me advice. Plus I'm pretty religious about reading up on stuff when it's a hefty investment. I know a lot of fish will stick to the bottom or top of the tank, but...

Just got a 55-gallon hex tank w/ cabinet stand and a fluval 305 used for $150 and I'm in the process of cycling now. I'm going freshwater because this is my first tank, and the startup price to do a saltwater is a little steep for my first go at this. My original plan was to do live plants but...
