Hi folks:

Here is a shot of my tank after waiting almost a year for my contractor (new build home) to fix my hardwood floors.
Contractor says we will have to move out of the house for 2 weeks for them to correctly fix the floors.
We are told this move will happen within the next month.
Got to love buying a new build home! :mad:
I had a 200 gallon in my old home for almost 18 years. New home is downsized considerably, only thing new living room can handle is this 90 gallon cube.
I am actually OK with that, the 200 was just too much for my wife to handle when work took me out of town.
If it indicates anything, my wife and I look on forums just see other peoples tanks!
Yes she is an addict too.
Obviously the new tank is not set up yet, and I already bought a new acrylic top for it. Now spending money for other equipment I know I will need.
Wife say's this is our last house and last tank.
She is demanding I set this tank up with newest technology so she can shed some of her tasks when I am out of town.
Any new technology ideas? ;)
Believe me if I win the tank, this one is GONE!
Rick

Nice Cube! An ATO is a must for lightening her load! You can get an apex or similar controller so you can monitor the tank and just let her know if something is off. At that point all she has to do it feed the fish every day unless your gone long enough to require a water change. Even then you can set those up to be automatic. I've never done that, but there are a few on here that have. You can automate just about everything to do with your tank.

Bet there are some other "New Tech" ideas out there, please keep them coming.

Thanks for your input "melypr1985".

Nice setup! A controller can handle most everything except the feeding and an auto feeder can be setup for that.
