Looks like I am in good shape. I stopped at Aquatic Obsessions today, worked with Will and I believe his name is Chris to get a few items. Very knowledgeable guys, and helped me pick out my first fish.
At the moment, they...
Dan's gonna swing by this week I believe. We will test the tank and see where we stand. David, thanks so much! Everything looks awesome, we'll have to meet up in person. I have been turning on the hqi for about an hour a day until we get to stocking. My daughter and I sit on the knee wall just...
ha ha, I know, but somebody had to take the picture. Besides, Dan deserves alot of credit. Besides helping me pick the right items and saving me a bunch of money (by changing my car insurance to geico ;) ) He was there bright and early working on the system with me. Thanks again Dan.

Tank 12 hours later:
The tank is currently at 75 degrees and rising. I am working on my DIY auto fill, and a few other things this morning. Thank you all so...
Well, have some bad news. Not everything was shipped and of course it is a few of the critical items. I called FedEx and they said their office is running on a skeleton crew today(Friday), and they may be able to give me an update on tracking Saturday, but chances are packages will not arrive...

What I...
Candi, Hawkeye Reflections, thanks for the warm welcome. I hope you are all settled in for the holiday season. I am sure Aliya is enjoying it. I have become immune to watching Frosty several times a day :-)
This will make you laugh, but I haven't thought that far ahead concerning the stocking...
The new design looks great. Hell, the old one looks great too :-) Go into the custom cabinet business!
When you are ready to sell let me know, I am just getting into the hobby and I hear its very addictive. Upgrading every 6 months is not uncommon :-)
Hi all, I have been browsing a number of sites, and all of you have such great suggestions. I can't begin to tell you how much money you have saved me already just by sharing your experiences. THANK YOU.
I am picking up my nano on the 26th. My reason for getting into the hobby is rather unique...
