Default will a 350 gal tank do for you ?

if you want to go big, we have our house FS, and I can offer you 2 options

A) you buy a verry expensive tank with the site benefit that it comes with a 3200 sqft fish room around it that has bamboo flooring and a rental suit.

B) we can lock at options when we well the house, if the tank can come out !

the tank is in Langford, so only ashort drive to you!

if you go for option A, things can settle fast, and you have your tanks in as little as 3 weeks, when you want to go for B, you might have to wait a bit.

OHH.

site note


depending what we buy, we might want to bring the livestock with us, as we need to fill our new tank (in the planning is a 6x6 square tank, 2 side glass

Hi Kevin, what a kind offer! I think I'll have to pass though. There are a few problems with those scenarios:

A) we *just* moved in. The only way I'm leaving this place is in a box.

B) I already have a 4500 ft2 fish room with wood floors and w/suite.

C) 350 g is bigger than I want. I'm thinking 250g + 80g (sump) + 50g (upstream fuge) + 50g (frag tank).

D) Husband just retired from glass business so I can get any/all custom tanks I want, glass or acrylic, for nothing.

and E) I like north island better. Quieter.

But thanks!
