Hello R2R members!
About a month ago I decided I was going to finally get my 40B up and running. I was given this aquarium by a friend/R2R member roughly 4 years ago but never got around to getting it going because by the time it was done cycling I had to move. Another friend of mine store the tank for me for the past few years but he let everything get ruined by either sitting in water or getting moldy so I scrapped everything except for the aquarium itself.
Since deciding to set it back up I have acquired a few replacement components and gave the tank a good cleaning. I decided to go the AI Hydra 26 route for lighting so I grabbed one and will pick up another when I can. To save a little bit where I could, I bought a used Eheim return pump and BRS 6-Stage RO/DI system. I am building my stand custom, I finally got around to cutting the pieces yesterday.
I will do my best to keep this thread updated as the stand gets built and tank gets cycling.
