I voted for the 75 gallon!

dgasmd · 11-22-2003, 09:09 PM

360 gal full SPS with tons of fish plus 100g refugium and 100g sump.

46,29, and 7 gallon reefs, 20L Cichlid and 40br turtle (girlfriend's) and just had to give away the 55 piranha.

So I went with 50.cc

Aquatic Cat · 11-23-2003, 12:10 PM

I clicked the 40 gal but mine is a 46 gal bow.

DPdsny · 11-23-2003, 12:39 PM

75 FOWLR

Keeping a 20 gallon right now, setting up a 58 gallon reef before New years...

I've got a 50, my dream is to have a 240 FOWLR, and a 240 reef. But for now, its a 50, and hopefully soon, I will set up my 10 gallon nano.

I think I just stumbled into greatness.

You see, I currently have a 58G tank that is my first. It's coming along nicely and I have learned tremendous amounts with it. Of course I am already looking towards me next tank.

My wife has a 125G FW tank that I think would be just about the right size for my next tank. Getting her to accept the thought of a new larger SW tank is akin to climbing Mt Everest.

I was talking with her last night about this new 300G tank the LFS is building for their store and how wonderful it is. (Visions of the boy asking for a beebee gun in the Christmas Story movie comes to mind)

I thought my ears must be broken, because I thought she told me that a 125G tank would probably be a better idea!

Oh the greatness the near future holds! See now that it is her idea to get the smaller 125G tank (the one I want anyhow) it is a much smoother road to reality.

Scooterman · 12-08-2003, 02:31 PM

I would vote but guess I can't or did already because I have no buttons to push. AnyHo 100g here, 30g sump. Guessing about 85g of actual water.

jgalafa · 12-08-2003, 04:13 PM
