Major update here also. Changed the tank from the JBJ 10 gallon rimless to the Fluval 13.5 with an upgraded pump (MJ900). I have to figure out how I want to put the rocks. Just threw them in there for now.

nice I was thinking of the evo 13.5 before I settled on the fiji cube for my RFA tank.
i look forward to the scape you come up with.

Thanks.. Well I thought I was going to mess with the scape tonight but had some stuff come up. It wont be much because it's mainly rock flowers and the tank is against a wall for now which probably wont change, so I dont want the nems going to the other side of the scale that i wont see.

I'll probably end up making another pack order from Rubio soon and really have this tank packed.

How do you like the Fluval vs the JBJ? I am debating between the 2 of them! I can't decide and am going later to pick one of them up. I thought the JBJ looked nice with a Clear lid and I could easily change the light if wanted. Changing the light on the Fluval seemed like I would have to take the top off it?

I prefer the fluval due to the filter system as it is more customizable. Yes, to change the light you'll have to take the lid off which I have done. I'm sure you'd be happy with either but I'm very please with the fluval.
