    Well with all the stuff coming up I've decided to get started on my nano, especially after the big leak with my POS biocube. Pics might come in a week or so; I need to do quite a few things to get this tank started. Thinking about keeping a few nano fish, mainly small gobies and a cleaner shrimp. Hopefully this one doesnt leak XD

    my dad says the floor supposedly cant hold 600 lbs which i highly doubt, but im gonna do a small 10 gallon nano just to keep a few fish for the hell of it. as for the biocube i guess its going in the trash; either that or i'll keep it in my garage, leaking POS XD

    Sounds good for a temporary tank. So the biocube has lost all hope? Don't take me as a stalker here, but I went and read your post about giving up. You had a leak in the bottom and on the side? Have you tried everything that you can think of? And you're planning a... FOWLR? If I'm right. I might be able to donate a 10 gal with lights (fluorescent I believe), an aqueous filter, hood, and maybe some live rock(infested with bristle worms). It used to be freshwater, but I made it into salt to cycle and circulate around the live rock until I got my 55 up and running.

    dude i have lights, a 10 gallon and all the supplies for a 10 gallon... and actually its not temporary but it will be a FOWLR for a while and i MIGHT get some GSP once i get used to maintaining parameters in a small tank. thanks for the offer anyway, and yes i've done EVERYTHING for the biocube. i drained the damn thing and put silicone everywhere and did a few water tests but water ALWAYS comes out so I've given up on the POS XD

    You've had a lot of bad luck. I hope to see this tank turn things around for you. Good luck and keep us updated. :)
