Project: Free Aquarium

[trilinearmipmap]

I am starting my new project.

The goal is to set up a new aquarium without spending one penny. The project will likely take several months.

The reason for doing this is (a) boredom and (b) I am cheap.

The plan is to trade in frags to buy a tank and equipment, and to trade frags, old equipment etc. to people who have livestock or equipment for sale. Plus I can use leftover old equipment in my basement which includes an Eheim return pump and a heater.

I am thinking of an Oceanic 30 gallon cube or something similar. The tentative plan is a seahorse tank but this may change. Tentative specs include a Tunze 9002 nano skimmer, and a bucket fuge to grow Chaeto.

Today I brought in a load of frags and left the store with a $490.00 credit, hopefully this will pay for most of a tank and stand. So I will update the thread as it goes along over the next few months.
