sixxer,
Really great looking - tank setup that is. How tall did you decide to go? I recall reading 36-40" before. Thumbed through the thread but did not notice a final decision - I am getting older and tend to miss things.
Still wondering about height for my tank. Would like to go more than 30-32" + DSB. Seems like once you get taller than arm's reach the next several inches would not make much difference. After maybe a foot or so more (past arm's reach) it might start to be a problem again and you might as well plan on getting into it. Would appreciate your thoughts about this and reasoning for choosing the height you did. Also, is this the first one this tall you have done? Any friends with taller tanks that helped you choose?
Also, I noticed that the pictures of you and the tank are much larger than the picture of your wife and daughter. Though many of the girls here may prefer that, it seems unfair to the guys. Are you trying to give us all eye strain? Just kidding, big time. Not prompting for a larger one - bad enough being addicted to fish, don't need a bunch of pictures of pretty girls (particularly in skimpy bathing suits) to make me spend even more time on RC. Remember this is supposed to be about fish.
(should be one of these for a dropping jaw or something) Always tell my two boys - Nice and good looking Mom + good looking Dad almost always makes for one heck of a daughter. Maybe she'll go for 8-10 year older men in about 25-30 years.
Thanks
Charles
