I'm jealous. My son and a girl lived together and had a baby. My
grandson. My son and the girl and the baby had a nice apartment. My
son wanted an aquarium, he learned a lot from me growing up, he could
manage it without my help. I told him to take his pick from the pile
of tanks overhead in the garage. He took my prized treasure, my 15
Tall. I bought that at a yard sale for $5, and I have never seen one
for sale, so I hate to think what the price is for one of those
babies. What an absolutely perfect shape and size. I want.

I had to special order the sucker. It's made by Oceanic and cost like
$35 or $40, I think? Expensive for a small tank but I needed the 10 gal
footprint - lease limit on tank size. I just wish I had the light to
grow red plants. Anyone know of a 50-60W 20" CF fixture that I don't
have to build myself?

I LOVE the height. I can grow Crypt balansae...if the dratted things
would grow again *grumble*... and crinum without having to lop them off
or have leaves curled everywhere. I've even got an angel in there -
there's enough depth for him to be comfortable. Not much swimming
space, but he mostly spends his life jealously guarding the 9 square
inches of surface where the food lands anyway. ;-)
