Now for the FUN part....
Waiting.....
I just got it together last night.... Now all i can do is sit back and wait for the cycle to complete.
Im going to take everything from my 5.5 minibow and put it in here. Its all outgrowing the 5.5 to fast.
This ones a 16 gal bow. As you can see, Im a big fan of bowfronts 
(46 bow, 5.5 bow, and now a 16 bow)
Now all I need is a 72 or maybe a 90, and i'll be done

Looking good, I like the minibow tanks. If I can convince my girlfriend to let me setup another tank in our home, then I will have a minibow also.

Yeah i know what you mean. I have sooo much stuff to put in there out of the 5.5, but i cant.... I just wish there was a foolproof way to cycle a tank overnight. Waiting is not one of my strong points, unless its something like mowing the grass, doing laundry, or dishes... Then i'll wait as long as i can. |

im with you on the bow love! since i got my 46, all other square tanks look odd to me, if and when i upgrade, it will be another bow.

I'm also a "Bow" person. I've got the 90 and I have my eye on the 175. (Do they make a 400???)

Well, just to start of I have a maxi jet 400 ph, a 100 watt heater, and a small hob millenium 1000 filter. Only about 75 watts of light right now. I'll be adding at least 65 more watts of light soon and im debating on adding a skimmer or not. What does everyone think about a skimmer on a 16 gal?
