Ive been a member here on RC for a couple years. I mostly stick in the reef fish, and clown forum, but figured I would step out of my comfort zone a bit.

So I decided to upgrade. I decided to go with a totally different size tank, and made it peninsula 60X30X24, 3 panels starfire,eurbraced, trapezoid overflow, 1 1/2" drain, 1" return.
