actually, once the stand is done im installing a 29 gl mini reef. I have been doing marine fish for the past 10 yrs , I'd like to set up a huge tank but in a apartment with limited space it just aint happing. Small tanks arent that hard to take care of, its just you really gotta know what your doing and there isnt much room for error.
Swanky, dont,dont, Dont use an undergravel filter for a marine tank (you'll build up too much organic waste). If your not using a live rock and live sand method then you need a high capicty wet/dry filter. There are some good models out there, and decent prices but really do some reserch before you start or it will end up costing you more in the end, and turn you completely off marine tank. Check out alot of of the site out there, there some really good info. And just because your in an apartment you can always move a tank it's not that hard either , just tricky.

As for this stand I still need more grass skirt for the canopy or invest in some expensive thatching.
