SCORE!
Yeah I got 2 free Eheim 2013s but we see how THAT turned out! :shakehead:I love my eheim 2213 for the most part but HATE maintaining it, mostly because the media is all in one tall basket.
Thanks. Plants definitely help, not the anubias so much as it is a slow grower but the frogbit certainly helped plus they really finished off the look of the tank IMO.
Sweet well sit back and enjoy your setup buddy you deserve it with all the hard work you have done so far..
I enjoyed all of the work except arranging the rocks but I am sure that will get better with time. And trust me, I sit and watch the tank for at least an hour a day, usually more.
I finally got my whole family interested in fish too! After months of my family poking fun at my obsession I catch them watching the tank, asking questions & even observing things I had not noticed (like the fact that my dominant male yellow lab has a distinct diagonal black stripe "through" his eyes & no one else does). So I must seize this opportunity and start planning a new bigger tank! :evil_lol:
I found a brand new Rena XP3 for $65 shipped so I will be able to get that media out of the tank soon, YAY!

Good job on the deal my friend, i am a sucker for discounts.
I have to agree with you on the hobby and family issue, my wife hasn't a clue on how a tank operates and really doesn't care for that matter but i do hear her when she says ahh isn't that a fish pretty. she has hobby envy hehehe..
Yep i do the same with my tanks as well my hardest issue is what tank do i sit back and enjoy, five tanks in all its sorta a toss up..

My family is learning the inner workings of an aquarium, it may be under protest but they are learning.
Thank you! I especially like the far away shot.
Since the filter is coming now I have to decide what is going to be a good size to sex everyone and dismantle the beautiful rocks.
I found a holding yellow lab today! 
I will take that as a sign that the fish are happy with their home which is very reassuring & relieving. I will let her spit into the tank since it is her first time. Guess this means I need to start working on my grow out tank! I have a 29g stainless steel tank (3ft) that I have to reseal.
