before the "betrayal" I was looking at the ARO and XM 10k's. I did a ton of reading and everyone that was running that combo was happy with the results (growth) in the tank as well as the look.

Now that I'm forced to start over my plans have changed but I still think that would be a great setup. Good luck and if baytown is not to far from SA I would be happy to help with the DIY stuff! I have a pretty full wood shop in the garage and I'm always looking for a reason to get splinters
