Coming back to the hobby

Hell everyone it's been like 4-5 years since I have posted here. I sold my 90g tank a few years ago, and lately I have been thinking more and more of getting another tank.

Something on the smaller side, 40g or so. I would like to have LED's and a pretty simple setup. Probably going to keep it pretty simple in the beginning, I have a 1 year old and he is amazed at the one in our doctors office, and would like him to have one to learn about at home.

I would like to just have some bright Zoos, some mushrooms and maybe a few fish. My son freaks out when he sees finding Nemo so one will probably be a clownfish.

Anyways I am excited about getting a new tank in the future. I'll probably just buy some used parts here and there, then upgrade in to future.

Well you can't go wrong with a 40 breeder. I like to call it the little big tank.

Good timing. I heard that petco is starting its $1 per gallon tank sale on the 26th

If you are going to invest in LEDs, you should make is SPS dominated, with a nice zoa garden.
