My Big Tank Mixup!!!:)
Well some of you may have known that I was talking about a bigger tank and at the meeting tonight I said I decided to no go ahead with the monster for now.
Well after the meeting Quinn(teevee), Katie(wife) and I went to InterAmerican to order Quinn's tank. Well after Quinn ordered his tank I asked for a quote on mine. :? Well It was too good to pass up and Pugirl(wife) was forcing....um yea that's it FORCING!   me to get the bigger tank. She even bent my arm backwards and said that if I didnt get the bigger tank I would have to move out!  So soon to be mine is a 72"x24"wx30"d tank. Front pane of starfire glass and Euro bracing. One corner overflow. So a 230g will soon be in my basement with a 90g refugium and a 75g sump. Just thought I would share the excitment! 8) Thanks

when i hauled tony's 50 gal and my new skimmer and calcium reactor into my house, i think my dad nearly had a heart attack. he walked into my room (where the tank will be) and kept looking at the carpet. i think he was planning to say goodbye to it. wait till he sees the 150 gal next week! $550 with overflow, eurobracing and starphire front! woooo!

Soon is 2 weeks for the tank to arrive but it probably a few months before it's set up. It's going in the basement wall "that dosent exist yet".
Lighting will be with 2 x 250w Iwasaki's and 2x 400w radiums that I all ready have sitting in the basement 8) I suspect my electricity bill may go up some :?

Nice size Jon. Same size as mine. You will love the picture effect from the extra height, esp. when in a wall. If you do like I did this one, {mine has an inset frame, instead of flush}, and have no front access, its an adventure leaning over the back and into the tank, to reach the front bottom.

Thanks Doug,
I am still having byers remourse/fright. This thing is quite overwhelming! I was planning on having the tank flush with the wall and the tank stand will be built into the wall. I wanted to have a front access pannel as well. :shock: Still Overwhelmed! :shock:

If there is need for LEGAL electrical work, let me know, as I am fully qualified to do that.
