Well the tank is pretty stunning and way heavy built. I have one complaint and I contacted fiji for some help. With my light mounted high the sock can be seen plain as day. I’m talking to them now to see if them have any good ideas. Worst case is I use floss instead of the sock.

So let me say, I am extremely impressed with this tank. It’s a beast, the glass is as thick as my 90 gallon. The white sock thing is a problem but Fiji cube is awesome and we are all trying to come up with something. I have no doubt they will come up with something.

Ha, just looked and I think that may be the exact brand I have. Only mine wasn't the whole kit, and was threaded for a normal co2 canister.

So, this morning I get a LiveAquaria email offering a $25 gift card with a $100 purchase, and I had $21 in credits too, soooo, my initial CO2 setup will be with the 1L Ista...

Tank is in place and it turned out pretty good. I'm always nervous for about the first month until I see the stand and everything is holding up. But I think this will be fine, and probably more than I actually need. Also, I like the new view at work

Even thought I will be officially starting by Monday, yes yes they do. Mine will not be a run, but a brisk walk.
