    So, I picked up a 72g bowfront aquarium for free the other day. :dance: Now I am starting to plan out my upgrade path to switch from my freshwater 55g to the new tank.

It is currently in the process of a fishless cycle, so I am trying to plan everything out during this painful wait. Other than a 10g with a fancy goldfish for my daughter, this will...
