Any pros, cons ?


The only cons I ever encountered was the openings in the top. I was
unable to put in the large hunks of bogwood I had aquired. Ticked me
off. g Plus you have to be careful cleaning the "glass". I
scratched the crap out of it one day during a brain-fart.

Pro's, tank is a bit lighter, wet\dry works great in fw, sump is a
good place to put heaters and stuff.

Go for it. g
