getting a new tank

[mtc1966]

picking up a 72g bow front tank and stand on Saturday it comes with a Tidepool II trickle filter with media trays and three powerhead wave maker .
not sure on my plans yet was just to good a deal to pass up.
thinking fowlr. i have heaters for it . so looks like i will need a light sand,return pump power heads and rock. will try running it skimmer free since no sps will be in the tank. my plan is to clean the tank paint the back and possibly repaint the black stand . then will be taking things very slow looking to do this tank on a very low budget. so may take a while.

Sweet, that's the same tank I just picked up. Tank, light, stand, sump, and a bunch of live rock from a guy in Branford- $200. Love the bows, and already looking at the 155 bow. lol

Here is mine:

your tank looks great . i will be taking a more low tech approach. but looks to be the same tank and stand.

Yep, All of them are the same pretty much. Branford APC uses the 155 as their frag tank. I love it! 72" wide and 155 gallons of useable space. Actually, every tank there is either the 46 bow, 72 bow, or that 155 bow.

Hope it all works out for ya. Good luck

Thanks Tweaked. Mike if you are gonna keep it a Fowler tank I have a 48" 3 bulb t5 light that I used on my 75 when it was my daughters Fowler tank and it worked great. $50 if you are interested.
