240G Dream Tank of Frustration
 

Well , time for an upsize . Currently running a 4' 120g tank & soon to out grow it . So thought I'd go all out & get the tank I've always wanted . With the help of Concept , I think my dream tank will come true , but not without a bunch of frustration (I'm sure). Thinking to start from almost scratch , just picking out a few pieces from my current tank . Not looking forward to the cycle & algae blooms.
I'm a slow typer & believe a pic is worth a 1000 words , so let's get on with what I have so far . Oh Ya , tank should arrive this week !!!

Also ordered a couple rock formations from Eli @ Figireefrock . I can't say enough about how nice & helpful he was . Talked to him late the night before, told him what I was after, by noon the next day he was texting pics & digging thru rock for me !
I would highly recommend him & very, very reasonable prices on hard to find rock.
This is what he came up with :
