    You want to buy my tank? Would look good at your place might have to get rid of the kids though so you have room for the tank. [​IMG]

    I was big into freshwater for a long time but my problem was once it was setup and stocked, I was done. nothing more to do then feed and occasional water changes. I went salt 1 yr ago and every single day I find something new to peak my interest or spark some curiosity. I never seem to run out of things to look at or come up with ways to make it look even better.

    Or another way to put it is that a reef tank can be a lot of work!

    If your looking for something to buy my Biocube is for sale and its ready to go right away. You would have to buy the light for it from joel, think he wants 100$. So you would have 200$ into a tank just need sand and Live stock and you would be set.

    I figured we could pimp you at at $10 a job, I would even play nice an let you have $4 of it. [​IMG] I figure if you can do 100 a day shouldn't take too long to make the money....

    Yeah I saw your setup forsale. Still doing alot of reading and planning so it will probably be abit before I even start to spend teh cash on anything. I enjoy the planning almsot as much as the buying and building.
