Downsize to 110 high? Does this make sense LOL

Just some early shots of my tank. I had a 150 6' tank running but the placement of it as well as a family member moving in made it not as accessable as I would like. So, I found this 110 high tank with just a 4' footprint that would fit in our living room great and as a bonus is tall enough for some great viewing. There is a single overflow in the back left. I put 2 of my 250w MH's and a 4' actinic bulb in the hood. I used my LR from the larger tank and "washed" some of the sand then seeded it as well. I was able to also use the existing water mixed with some new. The neat part is this tank is now a floor up and about 30' from my existing water room but we snaked a 1/2" hose and wiring with a mag 9 and now have that run in there as well-no carrying up water from a flight of stairs!! My only downfall is my naso will have to go-as seen in some pics. He is my pride and joy but I refuse to let him stay in a 4' tank. :(

Wow that Naso is a big boy! What a beauty! It's a shame you have to let him go, but even now he looks a little cramped where he is. Can't believe how huge that guy is. Gorgeous tank though, good luck with the move.
