So I have finally decided to get back into the hobby. I wanted to keep things small and simple. The 10 gallon cube I got from Nsr250NYC seems perfect. I've had a 65 Reef and 90 aggressive tank before. This time I'm going to try a seahorse tank. I haven't done much research on them yet, but i'll have time for that while the tank cycles. For the filteration, i'm using a fluval 304 canister filter. I filled the canister up with live rock. I haven't selected a skimmer yet. Here are some pics to start off.

The stand didn't have a door in the front, so I just cut one out.

Slapped a door on it to clean it up a little. This is not a very good looking project at all.
