75 gallon dilemma

[Thurge]

OK I do have a 6' wall but either it runs parallel to the joists, its 3' away from another wall, or its in the kitchen where the phone as is my 58 reef.
And while my landlady would probably love for me to build an addition to her house, I not thinking she would pay for it.

Oh and I would have to sell my empty 135 and 75 first, or make payments.

Why not set up the 135? we have drills.

LOL Thurge - your as bad as we are! Except in addition to the empty 75 and the 125 which was empty til this past weekend and is now cycling rock, we also have an empty 36 waiting to be drilled (all sitting in our front room). At least the 90 is looking awesome in the family room! LOL

The 135 I have will require a fair amount of work to get it where I want it. It has a single center overflow and I would go with twin end overflows, and add in a couple more return lines. Its acrylic so it could use a good polishing inside. Plus building a stand and canopy for it. I was almost done with the stand in Cleveland before we moved, and thankfully I didn't finish it because it was 1" too long to come out of the attic where I had my wood shop so it stayed.
Honestly the 135 would make a great FO tank.
The 75 is really what I think I will expand the 58 into, and have been planning on as a spring project. Then again the tank Eric knows of would probalby be just as much if not cheaper than all the work and equipment for the 75.....

Bugger. I really don't have a place for a 6' tank. I got approval from "The Boss" to put a 6' tank in the kitchen. Only problem is the space is 5'9".

OH man that bites. I'm sure you'll figure it out - where there's a will there's always a way!

Hmmm Thurge, why not see if Keri can use it????

 

[Thurge]

MINE!!!!!!!
LOL


Seriously though I would love to do that, but unless she is going FO this isn't the tank she would want. Its got a single center overflow and return. Plus I only have the acryllic tank and nothing else so I really couldn't beat the deals out there.
I got it for a pred tank, I just don't have room in the rental we are in right now.

Thurge, we have drills, we can make anything we want!!!!!!
