WHAT IS THE WIDTH OF THE TANK BECAUSE I SEE YOU PUT 18-24 AND WHAT IS THE HIEGHT OF THE TANK?

COULD YOU LET ME KNOW OVERALL HOW TALL IS THE TANK?

THIS WOULD BE MY FIRST TIME SETTING UP A SALTWATER TANK. WHAT ELSE WOULD I NEED FOR THIS TANK TO BE A FULLY RUNNING TANK? I KNOW I WILL NEED A SKIMMER, HEATER, POWERHEADS, ETC.....IF I'M MISSING ANYTHING ELSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

YES I KNOW IT'S A BIG START OFF TANK BUT I RATHER BUY EVERYTHING AT ONCE AND WON'T HAVE TO UPGRADE LATER. :rollface:

P.S. YOUR PRVIATE MESSAGE IS FULL

 

[reef_doug]

The tank is 72" wide. The overal height from the ground to top of canopy is 69.5" Tall.

The tank it self is about 26"H. If you are concerned with lighting, I use 250w HQI and it's very bright all the way to the sand and beyond.

The 18" is the narrow depth, but only on the ends. The middle point is 24".

Larger tanks are very stable with water paramters which is a plus. The major expenses are mostly at start up with LR and Lighting. I'm including the 4ea x 3ft VHO's that came with it.

Just thought I'd mention that I spoke with Doug about this tank right before I got my current "new" tank.

I didn't purchase it because I wasn't too fond of the black (well, the WIFE wasn't).

My reason for posting is so that I could let everyone else know what I thought of him (I know where some of you MAY think I'm going!).

I felt very comfortable talking with him. I didn't sense that he was trying to scam me, or something. He was honest about everything I asked him about.

Since my descriptive verbosity is at a loss today, I'll just say that I would feel entirely comfortable buying from Doug.

It's not like this hobby is FULL of flakes, but I can say with a pretty high amount of confidence that Doug isn't one of them. And I'm pretty picky about this type of thing.

You wouldn't happen to have some Tunze's you'd like to get rid of, would you, Doug?

 

[reef_doug]

Keeping the Tunze stuff. Wavebox, 2 6100, 7095, Osmolator are all going to the new tank.
