Well, now I want a kessil even more. I know how it feels, everything cluttered and crowded on the back.
I don't know, might be time to snag up a 40b this weekend.

A variety, I'm using the par bulb on the 10, I have a 6 bulb t5 on 1 20, a reef breeders value fixture on the other but am probably going to hook up my other value over the other 20, and a 4 bulb t5/ DIY led combo on my 40s. Will be switching to full led after I move at the end of the year
Haha I'm sorry :.(! I really want a 60 gallon rimless cube now though

I don't know, but I think the fish gods are ruling in my favor. The $1 per gallon sale starts Sunday.... And I have Monday off. Maybe it's time to grab a dream 40b reef or 55 FOWLR.... I guess I could hold on the lights a little while if it mean a bigger tank.

Hmm... I could upgrade to a 40b for just $85 bucks this weekend. Not including lights or a skimmer, but I'll add those later.

Oh yeah. The footprint is really nice. I don't really have a reason not to upgrade right now..

Well. I can't hang any lights from
The ceiling from now on. Apparently it is "unappealing". Guess I'll have I find a light that doesn't hang from there.

Alright! So, I searched through Craigslist. Took me calling an aquarium a couple different names, but I have found it. It's a55g tank, with a pump lights and sand. Also what seems to be an overflow box, but I'll drill it anyway. I messages the seller for more details. It's $179. I'll have that much by the end of this weekend, along with the funds for some rock. I don't know, but I think this is on a be an upgrade.

Well, the tank has cleared up A TON. It is crystal clear at this point. I will e heading to Petco today, as the $ per gallon sale has started. Who knows what I'll bring back. Pry a 40b... Not sure yet. 
The goby has found a new home. I left the tank bare bottom because I knew an upgrade was coming...

At the end of the day, the two would have costed about the same, after looking through stocking and all. It will really just end up boiling down to whatever footprint I like better when I get to petco at around 6:00.

I can make any money the tanks would need anyway.

If it comes down to foot print then it's 40b hands down

Pry will. I've never seen a 40b in person, so well see. I think I'm going to order the remainder if the rock I need from either Reef Cleaners, or amazon.
