That's for sure! I'm sure I'm sticking with a 10G,.. This tank is actually the fist tank I ever bought myself,.. I've given it away twice, and both times it spent a year or two at someone elses house then came back.

That is funny, guess its meant to be then! 
I on the other hand am leaning towards busting out the 20L and turning the 37 into a FO for the clownfish to breed.

Wow man, pics look very nice. I think you should switch to the 20L...maybe that'll slow you down a little so I can catch up.

Thanks Dego! He he, its not a race, but I cant remove the 20L from my sump for a few more weeks, when JandJ comes and picks up his corals I'm babysitting. I am trying to get a 30B from my friend, but we'll see...

Got bored today and decided to build a stand. It was so tiring using all hand tools. Well if I can make this stand look pretty I'll be upgrading to the 20L soon enough! I was planning on either leaving it open or making a single removable panel for the front. I am going to try to get a drill and a sander to finish it off before painting. Of course, how could I forget the PBR, a great beer for projects, and also good for emergency water changes. Do i need to add the beer to the tank cost?

PBRmeASAP!
lol
I think we can overlook the beer cost, but since you got ambitious, the 20L should definitely be in your future. Not to slow you down, but we want to see what you can do with a 20g since your 10g looks so good.

well the beer is empty now so im not sure. Im still waiting for a sander, but I did score a drill to add a few big screws.
Man did I piss off my gf when I told her I built a stand for the 20, she was thinking I was going to have 3 tanks. But she simmered down when I told her one will be a sump.

The one downside of BB is you see every spec on the bottom and it makes me feel OCD.

I like it! Looks good! I know what you mean about the bottom looking dirty but coralline should cover it soon enough.

Dont worry I still need to upgrade to a 20, rebuild the stand, sand, paint, and figure out a light hanger.

oh yea, I went down to the basement today and took the stand apart, in a failed attempt to make it better.
