Slow and steady! I love the rimless tank and a little jealous of yours

. You've got the apex lite, have you used this before? If so, pros/cons? I'm looking and really debating on what to get.

Enjoy the kiddies, I miss mine being small, goes so fast. My youngest turned 15 this weekend

the tanks not really rimless it has euro bracing but at the picture angle it looks it a bit and there will be a hood.

im new to controllers but so far i like the apex lite. i bought it off a sask reefer for a great price i couldnt resist.. but the savings are lost since i vacumed the display module.. other than that i enjoy turning stuff on and off with the pc. thats about as far as ive gotten. it seems simple enough to configure i think all in all it will be perfect for this system i like the 8 plug powerbars even thoh they are pricey. i need to ad one more power bar to control the lights. other than that the rest are toys for the future.

i also have a reefkeeper lite and the only difference i can tell are the powerbars and that apex is net built in. you just have to decide whats best for you but i do recommend the apex. more bang fro the buck. j&l has sales once in awhile keep your eye out.

i love my twinkies.. i fear teen years so im enjoying them now before i want to kill them lol
