Too late, I already used it......I didn't use the scrubbing side though, just the sponge. Tank cleaned up pretty good with a quick warm water sponge bath.
The light is pretty awesome too. It's a an older CurrentUSA unit called a Sunpaq. It has 2x65 watt bulbs that're half daylight white & half actinic blue. It even has (2) working LED night lights, whoohoo! They're kinda dim though. I should be able to change out the LED's for some new, brighter ones. I work at a Sign company and they use LED's to illuminate our signs. It should be no biggie to change them out, even if it requires soldering the new ones in place. The LED's have an independent cord too, so I can put them on a separate timer.
The tank included an undergravel filter that I don't plan to use, but it also came with an Marineland Emperor 280 biowheel. Sweet backup filter anyway, but I plan to use my new Rena XP2 canister filter in conjunction with the Marineland Penguin 200 biowheel that's currently running Zach's 20 gallon. In theory I should be able to add sand substrate to the new 55 gallon, let it clear & settle, add the Penguin 200 and all the fish in that 20 gallon tank all at once. Eventually adding the Rena XP2 and that will cycle that filter's media over time.
The big picture has me swapping the Rena XP2 out for the XP3 on my 36 bowfront. Both filters will be cycled already and it just makes sense to have the larger filter on the larger tank.
