Well, anybody in this hobby understands there is never a tank big enough.
I started with a 55. Still have it, yet it has become my qt. Soon it will be replaced with a 20 or so. Too big for qt.
The 125 is nice yet not tall enough to stand and really admire. I find myself having to bend over to look at it and...
Well anyway, thanks to Craigslist I found a 220 in a local ad. $113.00 on a u-haul and a few hours later. Here we go.
Over the last few hours I have added water and (thank god) no leaks!
Now the fun will begin. I have used canister filters on both my other tanks and they work fine. This ones gotta have a sump and one hulluva light system. Man this things tall.
Wish me luck. If anybody has good ideas on how to make a sump and the correct size tank I'm all ears. I figure that the sump has to fit through the front opening in case of a leak for removal. Seems a shame though. If I could put the sump tank in through the back it could be huge!
