So my recently set up 36 gallon sprung a tiny leak. It wasn't even leaking water, just salt creep but I didnt want to wait for a catastrophe. This is the link to that set up.

I decided to go a bit bigger this time and was lucky to get everything pretty cheap. As usual, I like to buy everything new.

60 gallon Marineland - Petsmart $60
R&J stand and canapy - $250
Current USA orbit IC Pro - $350
Fluval FX-4 - $120

I kept the old fish and got some new...as of now I've been running this tank almost 3 weeks. During the few day transfer I oddly lost 2 fish.
