Thanks everybody! Judging by how fast the toddler fish is growing, I'm going to need an upgrade soon!

So I am planning on getting this tank drilled. I consider myself very handy with tools but I think I am going to just pay the money and get it drilled at a LFS....I just really don't want a mistake to cost me another tank. I am not sure if I should paint the back of the tank, anyone want to comment? I like the way it looks better but I seem to remember reading something that suggests it actually absorbs a good spectrum of the light.

Beyond that here is an initial equipment list. I am just starting to research different models so suggestions are much appreciated. Also if I am forgetting anything let me know.

- 36" T-5 Lighting
- Protein Skimmer
- 20 gallon sump/fuge
- Return Pump
- Heater
- A few K2s or K3s
- RO/DI unit
