Yes, hell hath frozen over. And yes I finally got another tank. It has been over a year and a half since I broke down my 150 Gallon Candyshop. It has been a long break but it has been good for me. I moved to a new apartment and have made room for a smaller tank. I decided on the Current Solana XL 60 cube. I picked it up this morning and I think I found the perfect spot for it next to my desk so I can stare at it all day (since I work from home).

My biggest concern in this small 1 bedroom apartment is heat, and energy efficiency. Luckily I won a LED 36 Retro from Ecoxotic after MACNA. So that made my lighting choice pretty simple.

The planning stages.
TO DO LIST
Make a canopy or enclosure for the light to be dropped into (and to add additional stunner strips)
Decide on which rock to purchase and how to aquascape (MarcoRock maybe?)
Purchase all the gizmos that go with aquariums (mag float, thermometer, refractometer, etc)
Figure sump out (ie silicone baffles for a fuge section)
Decide on skimmer
Acquire flow-Necessary?-- I want me a Vortech baby
Acquire power center---I'm thinking Digital Aquatics RKL-NET



The tank needs to not be high maintenance. I'm out of town a lot and I also just don't want to obsess over Alk and Ca so I'm going to try to limit the livestock to LPS, Sofies, and Zoas. I also loooove fish, so a couple wrasses, gobies, and a dartfish or two are definitely going to be going in the display. I'm really happy to be back getting my feet (and hands) wet again. Look forward to sharing my journey with all of you.
