Dave,
Thanks for the response, i am located in the DC area and while i am starting up my old Solana cube i am working out the details for a new build i want to do. I am putting the Solana at the girlfriends place for her and her kids to enjoy and i want to step up and try my hand at a larger mixed SPS,LPS and softie tank. Needless to say, finding the right tank locally has been a challenge because i would really like a clearer glass than the typical all glass tank. I have looked into Cad Lights 100 but the nearest dealer is NYC and also looked at Clear Diamond, but their response on a quote has been slow, 3 weeks waiting. Aqua Vim is also in New York and they have a 105gl tank that is 40x24x25 that would work well, i don't want to go deeper than 25" their tank and a very nice real wood stand would be around 1600 and their trademark glass might do the trick. I want to do the following equipment Tunze 9410 skimmer, tunze silence? electronic return pump, two tunze 6055 stream pumps and all pumps operating off their multicontroller then also a tunze calcium reactor plant and ph controller and last for their equipment, a universal osmolator unit. For lighting i will most likely go with 2 or even three maxspect mazarra p controlled led lights and the fuge an eshopps r200. I hope this helps you see where i am headed with this build. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
