At least now the 265 is not just a big reptile tank and we can sell it and recoupe some of our money. Bad part is it was alot of money and time to do this. So much for a week off just kickin back and relaxing.

Sometimes we just need a good reason like this to get that tank we have always been looking for. I have a 125G that I have always wanted to upgrade but the amount of work and disarray keeps bringing me back to the fact that the 125G is well OK.
