Reef tank question

This is very true. Unless things are closer to the front you can't get nearly as personal with some of the life in the tank. I also have 19mm glass so there is distortion to deal with as well if you aren't either looking straight in and up close... or standing a few feet back.

I'm spending far more time working on the new tank as well. Would I ever go smaller again though? Not if my budget doesn't force me! If I ever move years from now I'd even consider another upgrade if my budget allowed but that's very unlikely.

I'd hate doing anything on this tank without a fishroom!

I went from 210 to a 300DD. I really love it. But if you have no cost restriction then the bigger the better. IMHO

Hey guys this is what i will be working with, sorry for the crap pic, I just did it fast been really busy.

So this is the basement and this is what i had in mind as of right now the fish room would be in the mech room that has a drain and i will be installing a sink after. What im not sure of doing right now is doing the tank outside what i have in the pic right now or to do a in wall tank and have the glass flush or to do 1/2 and 1/2 , have the tank in the fish room and half the tank in the other room, If i were to do the 1/2 and 1/2 then i would most likely make the fish room bigger.

I like the flush look as an inwall tank you only see a window to the reef (I like that look) it you are worried about having the fish room bigger then simply extend your wall to the length you like.
