June 20th-I picked up a 36 gallon bowfront with a stand and hood for $45 plus a small $10 frag and I stuck a 36"-48" marineland LED strip and a double daylight double actinic compact 24" fluorescent light on it along with a coralife 750 powerhead. I'm going to pick up some rock tomorrow from a buddy and also a filter.

June 21st- I got the rock and there is this huge 8-10lb center piece that is a bird nest and my friend said he got it for $60. I got all the rock in the tank (around 30lbs) for $25. I also got a marineland 350 but its not working, whenever I turn it on it just sprays out the water in the actual canister and then it just fills up with air. I'm also getting a magnet mounted pump (1400gph??) that i'm not sure the brand or model but my friend said that it's a "professional pump" and that I need it for the tank soooooo, I gave him the old powerhead (in the pic) and $10, he forgot it though so he is bringing it over tomorrow.
