Aqua Forest Aquarium

If you live in the US and you want ADA gear, you know all about Aqua Forest Aquarium.  Guess I better get to know these guys since I'll be sending them a lot of business over the next few months.

It was now like August 2018 and I had decided on a ADA 60P tank.  From my reading this was a classic size and was manageable for a beginner.  I wouldn't have to break the bank on hardscaping with stone and wood.  With less than a few hundred bucks I should be able to land a large enough amount of plants to get a solid start.  This size tank also posed less of a challenge to find a good place in my home for it to live.  I wanted it to be in my living room where I can see it all the time.

At this point I had my 60P tank in hand.  I had started gathering some other random stuff like ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia and ADA Power Sand.  If I wanted to really get this thing started, I really just needed the light.

I love the look of the ADA Aquasky Moon.  It was just so expensive.  I had been following George Farmer on YouTube for a few months and he seemed to use Twinstar on most of his tanks.  After a lot of research I was pretty sure this would be where I break away from ADA.  Guess I was wrong, destiny wanted me to have the Moon.

One day I called Aqua Forest Aquarium to check on the status of the ADA Cube Garden Glass Stand I had ordered from them.  They didn't have them in stock at the time so I had to special order from Japan.  It was gonna take up to a few months which was why I went ahead and ordered it a while back.  I got to talking with George Lo, the owner about the different light options between the Twinstar the Aquasky G and the Aquasky Moon.  I told him I really loved the look of the moon and was considering just going for it.  George said he didn't have any and would have to special order one.  He wasn't even sure if he could get them anymore.  That was when he made me an offer I couldn't refuse.  He offered me the display unit from his store for 50% off.  He said it was only used for about a year and was in good condition.  I jumped on it right that second.  With shipping I was able to get the ADA Aquasky Moon 601 w/ Mirror Unit for $255.  That would have normally been about $500 after shipping.

I have been getting so lucky so far.
