This is my QT. I just ordered a bigger filter to replace this one and an ammonia alert wheel. Since I added a second clown im nervous about the bioload. But the single clown has been in here for like 3 weeks and is doing great. This photo doesn't have a heater in it but it has one now.

Welcome to R2R, I am a bit late to the party;) the only way you learn is to ask.:)
 
Really?!! That would be amazing man!! Iv been thinking of just running it a bit with just fish but that would be so cool!! Is it harder to take care of corals right of the bat? Also I live in Canada [emoji12]

If you worked anywhere near me id tell you to work here. Minimum wage for 95% but we go through about 400 people / year with a staff of about 170. So there are always openings... :p

Haha ya. I am probably too shy to work in a store. I am quality control here I measure a lot of car parts basically me and another in the room. I like this since I deal with a lot of different things. I think if I worked in retail it would get boring since its basically the same thing daily. I have never done it but also would probably get nervous when the customer is angry because their fish died ;p on the flip side it would probably be less stressful. My coworker dropped two aluminum parts. Those were worth $3,000 each. Machinest wasn't so happy...

Iv worked retail quite a bit I dont mind it I really want autobody but I think it would be awesome to work in a fish shop especially! Not to mention id probably get a deal on equipment eventually which would be cool [emoji13]
 
Im also curious! For painting the back and sides, use acrylic right? And does it need to be black?! Or should just any dark colour do? I was thinking maybe a purple or blue if it doesnt matter then it would look nicer
 
Yes, use acrylic paint, spray or brush, and color doesn't matter. I personally have found it easier to brush it on. Either way, just do several thin coats and you should be good to go.
