Ryan - You back yet?
I was nominated for the thread of the month. Kinda thought you and I would both be up against each other for the 90 gallon thread of the month

It's close - as of now I'm losing

I'm still here! I'm leaving Detroit today...
I never even considered my thread being worthy there but now that yours was nominated I'm wanting some of the action too!
Maybe I should do a recap from the beginning since it has split so many times that all the info is buried very deep....
I gave you a vote but there seems to be more reefnecks than reefmonkeys.

toddlaco gave me the x and the thread died!
I will have photos coming soon as well as a short movie of the tank.
Of course now I am considering a bigger tank. Either a 135 or a 180. :eek1:
If I go that route it will be a ways off as I need spousal approval (which I somewhat have) and I will need to start building a stand and canopy again. (shudder)
I told my wife about a 225 with stand and canopy for sale locally for $600 and then didn't mention it again. A few days later she was telling someone about it and said that she thought I was going to buy it! Then I got sticker shock with all the required equipment it will need.
It sure would be sweet though to have a 180 or even the 225.

go for the 24". i don't think the extra 6" will impact the room that much judging from when i was there, but you'll be a lot happier with it inside the tank. not sure what the dimensions are on that 225, but i'd stick with a 24" x 24" end plate. 120, 180, 240 are all "perfect" tanks IMO (with the 240 being the bestHomebrew said:
obviously)

Oh now you're killing me JR! I'm never going to get a 240 in there!
I'm hoping to get a 24" deep one. Jennifer likes the look of more sandbed anyway. The only problem being, I will have to have it closer to the wall.
Both of you have been to my house, do you think a tank this size would be overpowering in the room it's in?

Here is a video of the tank. This will only be up 7 days until I can host it myself somewhere.

Sorry for the whining, she wanted me to take her picture.
I'm going to film another movie of the tank later with my camcorder and save it to the memory stick. At least the frame rate will be better and hopefully the quality as well.

I took a ton of pictures yesterday but was only happy with three of them.
Check out the growth on this deresa. The white part of his shell is all new and only a couple of months growth.

My clowns like to hide in this leather when I stick my hands in the tank or turn off the pumps.

It will charge me if I go over, that is why I use that program for all my downloads. I am hosting like 10 videos right now, and just to make sure I can put daily, weekly, or total download limits on the videos. Works well for me. The most I have used so far is 19gb in a month. So far this month I have used 5gb. And that is with 4 video's hosted in James thread which is thread of the month.
