Trimmed up and ready to paint.
Whole thing's going to be black, including the back of the tank and the trim. The sale would've been over by the time the LFS was to get another black one in.
And here we are today, ready to upgrade. As you can see, I'm pretty excited about my bigger tank.
The hard part now is transferring everything over without doing any damage. I've been offered a substantial amount of live sand from someone locally, along with some live rock. I'm getting lots of base rock as well, and everything in my nano is going over when I'm sure that the new cycle is complete. Here's the hard part: I can't move the stuff in there until I get a light for it, and I can't afford a light until I sell the nano! I plan on having the tank cycled and ready to go with new sand/rock in there and the flow going until someone agrees to buy the nano, buy the lights with the intention of getting money from the sale, and send the nano off to it's new home at the same time I order my lights. The inhabitants will be ok for a couple days in the dark. I will go skimmerless until I can build up enough cash to get an octopus HOB, and I will see if I can build a HOB fuge. I hope I can keep my promise!
