In the spirit of "everyone's doing it," I'll post up a journal on my new tank, too.
My first new tank... really. Kinda sad, though. I've been in the hobby for a good amount of time now; and I just realized that I've never ordered a custom tank before. I don't really count this, but the only new tanks I've owned were from Petco, or a bunch of lowboys for frag runoff. LOL! Those totally don't count, though! This one does (so says my wallet!).
I chose Planet as my builder because they overbuild stuff, and are pretty quick. I went through Paul @ T&T Fish and Reef because he's always been good to me, and he's "close" to my house.
The tank's dimensions are very similar to the Marineland 250DD setups out there. I just didn't trust Marineland enough to use the one I had. I gave it to a buddy because he's willing to get all the work done to it to make it safe for his house. It was a win/win for both of us, really.
Anywayz... I'll post as I get stuff. Right now, I only have drawings and renditions. Pretty eager to have a real tank setup again! 50g Lowboy is getting cramped. LOL!
I missed you, MARSH. ::sniffle::
