This is why I tell people to not sell their best and favorite equipment for at least a year after leaving the hobby, as well as make their favorite livestock local to them in case they want another frag of their favorite piece. Very hard hobby to leave and stay away from.
I traded my old 150 that had been in that backyard forever for a 14 gallon biocube with uv sterilizer, protein skimmer and modded led lighting for my 3 yo son. Be wasn't going to get it till after I graduated and we move but he needed a brighter nightlight and this was the "best" solution. Setting it up the other day, I really like this little tank and think they are very nice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend one to somebody. I haven't hooked up the skimmer that came with it because I need an airstone for it but if you are really serious maybe get a different skimmer and toss the bio balls, otherwise super nice little tank. After I graduate in may, I think I'll have one on my desk.
