Ok, my Dad has been very difficult to deal with lately. My Mom left my dad, me and my little brother two months ago (after being married to my dad for 27 years), so he has been very frazzled latley. Anyways, he has been changing his mind on what exctly he wants to do, with reguards to a new tank. He said lets combine our nanos, then said lets hop-up our LPS tank. Well we have come to the conclusion, that we are going to combine all four of my tanks into one. This is going to be a task. I am going to get a 240 gallon tank. YAY....
Well I have figured out what I am going to do as far as setup.
The tank will be a 240 gallon tall. Dimensions: 6 feet long, two feet wide, and 31 inches tall.
Filtration: Two Magnum canister filters rated to 150 gllons each......LOL J/K
LifeReef Berlin System: LF1-300, with the upgraded skimmer rated to 350 gallons. I have talked to Jeff the owner, and he said that his skimmers are not over rated, the rating that he puts on them is what they will actually handle. Here is the link to the filter system:http://lifereef.com/frame.html
I am also going to have a 24 x 12 x 18 high LifeRefugium added to the system.
As for lighting I am seriously looking into the new Solaris LED System

This is a pretty big project, so I am having to go slowly. I am looking into ordering the skimmer sump combo here in the next week. Then I will order the tank.
I already have about 180 pounds of rock, but I will need ALOT more.
Anyways I was just updating my tank plans. This time they are final, at least the size.
