Hey Jim,

Thanks for the offer. I appreciate it.

Well, I measured the tank today and it is 45"Lx19"Wx30"H. I plan on using 2x250W DE bulbs as lighting. For flow I plan on using a Mag 12 for closed look and a CSL T3 return from my converted wet/dry going through my 2 Sea Swirls.

It will probably be a mixed reef since I have most of the lighting and the corals already. I will probably do the minimalist approach where less is more when it comes to stocking. Aside from the 4 fish I already have in my tank, I'll probably add 1 last fish (dwarf angel or something like that).

:eek:

Wow, you guys! I am no where near ready to move anything anywhere! I'm going to take my sweet time on this one. I still have to price out some steel for a stand, make a stand, make an overflow, etc etc. It won't be up for a while...

I will let you guys know when I am ready though :cool:

Thanks again for the generous offers.
