They all are waiting lolol!!! Believe me I want to get it wet ASAP...only think holding me back is more sand and rock oh and a stand.

From what my wife told me they had a stand for it but when she looked at it, it didn't look very well made and was afraid it wouldn't hold it once everything was in it.

Now, since it is tempered glass, what I may do is temp use a HOB filter like I am now and then take the 10g and turn it into a sump. Or just get a canister filter like I got on my 55g FW and use it with some ceramic rings, polishing pads and chemipure. I know I don't need a canister but it has made a HUGE difference with my FW tank.

Oh, almost forgot...yes still planning on the scape I was talking about.

Sounds like a plan. I'm quite jealous you are getting to upgrade lol. Can't wait to see how it turns out

Thanks Bribo

Don't be jealous, your pico looks way better than my ten and I have no doubt you will be getting a bigger one too

Haha a 20 is more on the nano side. I do think a pico would be awesome though. Your tank looks good though and is a lot younger than mine

. Give it time and it will blossom

This is true lol. I love your Pico, and the time lapse you done really shows how well it progressed...it really is beautiful.

I know it will get there, and I am hoping once I transfer everything and get more corals that it will take off even better.

I got the Ocean Revive Arctic T-247 Full spectrum Dimmable with timer 120w. It has 2 cooling fans and a Zener in case one of the LED's go out the rest continue to operate.

Watched some video's of this model and it was awesome and the SPS/LPS/Softies were just awesome under it.

Nice sounds like a good light!

It seems to be. Wasn't a bad price either...got it on sale for about $170.00 a little over a month ago. Now just got to figure out how to mount it. Can't hang from the ceiling since we rent.
