LOL, if I showed you how much I spent on my 28g you would freak. I'd have to take out a mortgage to do a tank that big my style

Ya no doubt about that thats a massive tank lmk if u do

 

[below radar]

No It's 72 x30x24 I would like a 36 deep that would be nice too

I currently have a 30" tall tank and I don't care for it. IMO, you will thank yourself for not going 30 tall. I would take 30"+ deep any day of the week...and twice on Sunday.

Regardless of what anyone else likes, as long as you get what you want, that's really the only thing that matters. Unless if someone else is paying for it.:encouragementany takers...no, ok)

When do you plan on having this bad boy running? What's next on the to-do list

 

[arthur08]

Hopefully in 3 weeks I'm just working n talking to ppl about building a stand n money is tight so I'm trying to work overtime lol

I'm hoping to get mine up and running in that time frame. All I need to buy are the bulbs for my lights, sand, and some dead live rock.

 

[arthur08]

Wat lights r u going with

 

[below radar]

I didn't want to buy a chiller and I told my wife I wouldn't buy Radions until I get my big tank, soooooo I bought a Tek light. 8 bulb 60" T-5. I'm not 100% sure on it though. I just hate to add all of that heat with MH

I still may run 1 of my 250W MH. It has a small reflector so I may put it center rear of my tank. I have a centered O/F, so I think I will have rocks stacked close to the top of that for some SPS. I would mount the MH above that.

 

[arthur08]

Ya I saw that o/f in the middle that's sweet I wish I could of done that it it would've jacked up the price like 500

 

[below radar]

Are you going to run the lights you bought from Jason? Are those 250 or 400 and are there 2 or 3 of them?

 

[arthur08]

Yes 2 250 I will be adding one more

 

[below radar]

Oh, my O/F is in the back...not in the middle of my tank. It's just centered.

 

[arthur08]

Right thats wat I meant

 

[below radar]

I'm lazy and don't feel like going back in the thread. You have dual corner O/F, right?
On your rockscape, what kind of design are you thinking of? With a 30" tall tank, it can be a rockscape of epic proportions.

 

[arthur08]

lol yes im thinking scaping really tall in the middle for my sps and the sides have an islan on each side with lps or the other way where scaping be high on th side and small scaoing in the middle for lps

 

[below radar]

I like your first thought. Lots of SPS right in the center...kind of like the "look at me" section. Are you going to leave a lot of sand or are you going to have tons of rock? I am thinking of doing a lot of sand bed...as in sqft, not pounds of sand.

 

[arthur08]

Wat do u mean by sq ft I'll be having a dan about 3 4 in
