Hi all!
I've decided to start up a build thread to keep up with the progress on my new build. With the fall semester coming to an end I decided to get back into a larger tank again. Time isn't something I have an abundance of while pursuing a Chemical Engineering degree, so I'm keeping my father more involved this time around so he can help take care of it while I'm away. I played with the idea of getting something mid sized like a 40 breeder again for the last few months, so when the JBJ 65 went on sale at the local fish store I jumped on it.
As I'm starting this a couple weeks after the initial setup, I'm going to try and catch up in the logical order I would've posted in from the beginning.
