Here's my 29 gallon All In One. I picked it up off Craigslist brand new from a guy who recently closed his LFS business. I got it for $200 and he even threw in a CFL light fixture, judging by his warehouse he was desperate to get rid of stuff. I wanted to help take more off his hands but my wife put me on a strict aquarium budget.

Just humming along in month 4. The skimmer that was included was way too loud for the living room so I took it out and I'm trying to grow a small patch of Cheato in that chamber. I had some GHA spring up, mostly on the sand bed so it was easy to syphon out. I think it might have something to do with me removing ¼ of the live rock; I bought 2 Rockflower Anemones and one attached its self to the glass facing away while the other one slid under a cave in the aquascape. I also switched from two 30% water changes a week to one a week. Here are some of the more recent pictures.

What do you use to clean the glass, regular magnet cleaners work?
I use an oversized magna float with the scraper attachment, the square one. It's kind of a pain near the sand on the curved section but it does the trick. I try to clean the glass every other day so the buildup is light. I went oversized because the magnet is stronger and gives it a little more pressure around the curve.
