So over the next couple of weeks I'll be taking my 13.3g tank down and setting up a Mr Aqua 45cm cube. I was going to use the same tank and everything, but I was going to need to build a stand for it as I'm moving it to a different room. It's on a storage dresser right now, but my wife has always wanted it out of the living room lol. The tank got a scratch on the front panel somehow (my cats use it as a water bowl, so it's possibly due to them), so I figured all of this combined, it would be pretty similar to just buying a new tank, so screw it, let's do this.
