On my B-day 21 Sep 2013 My wife suprised me with the best gift I could ask for informaing me that she was preg. I am super excited that our first child is on the way and is due 01 Jun 2014.

Found out it is going to be a boy and named him Korbin Reid Beeman. So we finished his room last week so while the wife was at work i picked up a 29G HQI biocube and snuck it into his room. I figured if it was setup and running she can't make me tear it down and move it.

It will have stuff in it later but at the moment I just need to set it up fast.

My Rocks are not setup the way I would like them to be in the 300DD but with my wife being preg, and not having any friends strong enough to help me lift the canopy off the tank it will just have to stay the way it is until I can get help to move them around.

Can't the wife help?

She usually just tells me what to do and if I don't do it right she yells at me about how I'm not listening. lol.

But the canopy weights around 200+# the most she can do is help keep the wires from ending up in the tank.

I have the same system. It has been setup for about 2.5 months.

For me it was a pain in the butt to get everything running right but once finished it was worth it. Still just really wish I coud get in there now and mess with the rocks but my bulbs need changed next month so there is no point in doing it now.
