Okay...so although my house is no-where near ready (still at excavation stage)... I have ordered my tank. I've also ended up upping the size just a little bit to about 290G. Along with the tank, I've ordered a 6' sump as well.
Jay from Elite will be building this and given what I've seen of his tanks...this should be a beauty. Sorry for anyone who was wondering but I couldn't quite afford the 1 piece eurobrace so it will be a normal one.
Anyways...I wanted to give him a big thank you for all his suggestions about ways to improve the tank before I had even given him the order.
Now if I could just figure out where I'm going to store this giant while I wait for the house to be finished. But hey...there could be worse problems right?
