Hahah, I had 15 before the crash, and I think 8 total now. I miss not being able to watch my clams.
Bigger and better for 2008/2009 means getting the 180g back up and running again. I'll stock it with fish for the large tank at the same time. We will also start work on the big tank as soon as we get a few house-related things out of the way; e.g. new hot water tank, finishing unpacking, etc. Your in-wall tank its looking super sweet! I love the look, and I think that is what we may try to go for with the big system.

Off topic, but you mentioned replacing your hot water tank. You might consider getting a 'tankless' hot water heater. Initial cost is more, but big savings in the long run and a never ending supply of hot water for filling that hot tub.

We are definitely looking at that option. However, we have been reading about some drawbacks that make us a bit wary. The initial price as well is something to consider.

The one that came with our house is 23 years old and well out of its life expectancy. I'd rather replace it now, then come home to yet ANOTHER flood in the basement.
The crappy thing is that we have a water meter on this house, and I am fully expecting this first bill to be up there. I'm sure we've gone through at least 350g since the 3rd of October for the tank alone. Never mind everything else in the house. I'm also looking for ways to "green" up the 180g and the large system to keep the costs down long term. Living is expensive, and so is this hobby, which doesn't always make for the best combination.
