The Rox: My Angler Tank

[BryanGoodson]

Alright guys my name is Bryan Goodson and I'm from Tampa Bay, FL, I'm new in this hobby but I'm absolutely captivated by it and look forward to doing it for year and years to come. I have a 6 gallon fowlr along with a 10 gallon reef but this is my first build thread. I am putting together a simple 10 gallon long tank for an Antennarius Maculatus "Wartskin Angler". I know the size is iffy which is why later I will upgrade him to a 30 gallon but in the meantime here it goes...

All input and advice is accepted and appreciated, I take every chance I can to learn.

After my 2 1/2 hour round trip I finally got my angler! Bought it at Coral Corral in Tampa. The owner even threw in a cuc! As soon as I acclimated and released him he inhaled a peppermint shrimp. Then went and hid in his cave.
