My Big Tank Mixup!!!:)
 

Well some of you may have known that I was talking about a bigger tank and at the meeting tonight I said I decided to no go ahead with the monster for now.
Well after the meeting Quinn(teevee), Katie(wife) and I went to InterAmerican to order Quinn's tank. Well after Quinn ordered his tank I asked for a quote on mine. :?

Well It was too good to pass up and Pugirl(wife) was forcing....um yea that's it FORCING! :roll: :wink: me to get the bigger tank. She even bent my arm backwards and said that if I didnt get the bigger tank I would have to move out! :lol:

So soon to be mine is a 72"x24"wx30"d tank. Front pane of starfire glass and Euro bracing. One corner overflow. So a 230g will soon be in my basement with a 90g refugium and a 75g sump.

Just thought I would share the excitment! 8)
Thanks

WOW!!!

I'm gobsmacked...

when i hauled tony's 50 gal and my new skimmer and calcium reactor into my house, i think my dad nearly had a heart attack. he walked into my room (where the tank will be) and kept looking at the carpet. i think he was planning to say goodbye to it. wait till he sees the 150 gal next week! $550 with overflow, eurobracing and starphire front! woooo!

That's great Jon!
How soon is soon?
Dare i ask about the lighting?

Mitch :D

Soon is 2 weeks for the tank to arrive but it probably a few months before it's set up. It's going in the basement wall "that dosent exist yet".
Lighting will be with 2 x 250w Iwasaki's and 2x 400w radiums that I all ready have sitting in the basement 8)

I suspect my electricity bill may go up some :?

Nice size Jon. Same size as mine. You will love the picture effect from the extra height, esp. when in a wall. If you do like I did this one, {mine has an inset frame, instead of flush}, and have no front access, its an adventure leaning over the back and into the tank, to reach the front bottom. :lol:

Thanks Doug,
I am still having byers remourse/fright. This thing is quite overwhelming!
I was planning on having the tank flush with the wall and the tank stand will be built into the wall. I wanted to have a front access pannel as well.

:shock: Still Overwhelmed! :shock:

Excellent Smithers...

Better start framing that basement today. :)

:lol: I gotta go to work today to pay for the materials to start framing!

If there is need for LEGAL electrical work, let me know, as I am fully qualified to do that.
