curved tanks

[forensicdoc]

Roger,

Welcome back! I read your email so I know you were busy, but I am glad to see you had a bit of fun while in Germany.

I have two tanks that I will be bringing on-line in 6 to 8 weeks. One is an Oceanic corner tank, 190 gallons, 42" radius and 37" tall. The other is an Oceanic bowfront tank, 290 gallons, 72" long, between 24" and 30" deep and 37" tall. Both will have 1" - 2" sand beds. Both will have sumps, but no closed loops.

For circulation I am looking at Tunze products. I understand from some of my earlier research that you recommend against the wave maker, although the reason escapes me at this moment. What would you recommend for these tanks? Also, is there still a significant back order and delay on ordering at this time?

Thanks for your assistance.

The only backorder problems should be 6200 and mag holders. What kind of corals will you keep.

The 290 bowfront is going to be fish with some live rock, but no corals. The 190 will be a reef, whether soft or SPS I am not sure how it will evolve, but I want to be flexible. Thanks again.

For the 290 get a TS24 kit, for the 190 get 2 6000 and a 7095.
