I've moved to california and it just doesn't pay to ship it out here, and i don't have anywhere to put it. so i'm selling my tank, stand and lighting system.
the tank has a small chip in the glass on the front right but it hasn't compromised the tank in any way and its barely noticeable. the 6...
thanks for the advice! i think i will drain the water and start fresh, i'm really not all that ready to start cycling anyway...
