Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
My friend who previously had a 10 gallon nano would like to get back into the hobby. He wants to set something up in between 4-8 gallons. What are the options for filtration and lighting? He wants to keep everything under 100 if possible.
What's going to be the footprint of the tank? There's an 8 gallon Nano on Craigslist for sale (maybe biocube) that would be all self contained and with a good water change schedule, would be adequate enough for most softies and some lps.
