I'd really suggest looking for a good used set up from someone downsizing or getting out of the hobby. Are you thinking of a reef tank or a large FOWLR?
I'd recommend looking at either a 180 gallon 72"x24"x24" or a 240 gallon 96"x24"x24". These are standard sizes and will be both more available and easier to buy items for. | Thank you Doc, I appreciate your guidance more than you know.
I am aware that what I have will not work with a larger tank. I am looking at setting up a second one. I also know it will cost a good deal of money....but I love this stuff. If someone came across with a 150 that I liked....I am not opposed to that.....just wanting to keep larger/more fish than I have...I didn't realize how limited I was with at 55 gal.
Just looking at options, but thank you VERY much. I appreciate you guy.
Dave
