My tank is exactly a year old but since I'm spending more and more time on R2R I figured it was time to move my build thread here.
I'm going to try and summarize in as few posts as possible then upgrade regularly going forward.
I upgraded from a 50 "breeder". I wanted to correct a couple of mistakes I did with the new tank.
I went for the Aqueon pine stand - The tank is in my living room in my apartment and when we had visitors, that's the first thing they were drawn to. After spills, drips and time the pine stand looked terrible. I'm also tall 6"5 and there wasn't enough space in the stand to work.
I had a single drain overflow that was noisy.
I had a deep sand bed and wanted to run as far away from it as possible.
