Quick update. Still waiting for the tank. Been 90 days so hopefully it won’t be much longer.

Making the most of the delay as it’s given me a chance to shop sales and pick up stuff slowly. Picked up a couple test kits, a 3D printed feeding door on sale, and an “Open box” mounting bracket for the 44HD Edge that looks untouched (anything to not pay the overpriced MSRP for it). Also got a 20 gal kit for a QT with the 1/2 off petsmart sale.

That punts the costs of a skimmer or good fuge light about 6 months

If your planning chaeto in the fuge a $20 grow light will grow chaeto great. Its all I ever used when I ran a chaeto fuge. I used to harvest 1/2 of a 5g bucket every week to 10 days. I used LED grow lights and attached them to the side of the fuge with Velcro rather than hanging them.
