New Tank Build

dominguez00025 · 04/07/2013, 10:56 PM

Hey guys! I am not really new to the hobby. I just never really went all out due to a very tight budget. I recently sold my old tank and got a better job so I am able to afford better equipment. I would like to start a build thread and show the progress I make as I go. I need some suggestions on my lighting (preferably LED), powerhead....etc. I was looking into those "All in one" tanks. Any suggestions on aquariums and reviews on those all in one tanks as well. Anything will help guys!! I will be posting pictures as I go.
Hope to read some good things.
Thanks Guys!!!

Hey guys so I visited my LFS who has been making custom aquariums for over 30 years. It's called Exotic Aquarium. They have bad reviews as far as customer service, but for making aquariums they are GREAT! I decided to go with a 36x24x17 aquarium for a total of 63.5 gallons. It has a pre filter box made of glass. I have pictures to give you an example of what I am getting. Unfortunately it takes 10 weeks to make my tank so I am gonna have to wait a bit. Looking to buy a light for my future aquarium within the next couple of days. Any suggestions? Anything helps.
