I was given an 8 gallon cube last night free of charge. It even came with a Koralia nano, heater, crushed coral(which I pulled out), and about 10lbs of live rock. Plus, a pajama cardinal, peppermint shrimp, emerald and hermit crabs, and some snails.
I broke it down really quick, got some live pink fiji sand for $5 and replaced the original substrate, put back some of the original water and topped it off. I put all the original live rock back in it for now until I decide what to do with the tank. Don't worry, I put the livestock into my 29BC.
One of the fans sounds like its starting to go, I've never tried replacing the fans on one of these hoods, but I'm guessing it can't be that hard when the time comes.
I'm contemplating just a regular reef tank with fish and corals or possibly a seahorse tank with some corals...what does everyone else think?
