Looking to upgrade

[Seraphim]

Well at the end of the January <My wedding is on the 24>to mid Feb I want to be upgrading my system. I think my 40 long is getting a little cramped. Till then i would like to be collecting equipment. I was looking for a 54 gallon rr.....but after Cove's bowfront disaster I think i will leave that curved glass alone. Not sure what i want . I was thinking no larger than a 75. What really makes me mad is i sold a 90 a year ago because i thought that i would never want a tank that big!!!!!!!

But anyway this is what i have so far to transfer:
2X 175w MH using m57 ballasts
2x 4ft ft vho actinic
Euro reef cs 100 skimmer
Sump and fuge w/light
tunze 6025 and korallia 1
75Lbs of rock
Sand bed
All the livestock

This is what i need:
TANK and Stand Would love RR
Return pump
another overflow box if not RR
Reflectors for MH
koralia Magnum 5

I am sure that there is more that i will need . I f anyone has any of this please let me know. Also If anyone needs a Windshield or other Type of Auto Glass i would love too trade my services for equipment as well. I will be at the meeting on the 16th.

Thanks
Jake

Keep your eyes out for an Oceanic 58g RR great tanks, I just picked one up for $100 cherry trim tank, cherry stand, 20L sump all in excellent condition but took some cleaning, I have seen some of these tank stands here on RC similar for around $200 lately

So Are you looking to get rid of that tank...heheheheh. I keep my eyes out thanks!

I don't think any tank is ever large enough. You will always want something bigger once the new tank is setup and in place with livestock in it Just go as big as your budget will possibly allow for and tell yourself you have done the best you can do hahahahahaha.

I am more interested in what my floor can handle..........................But if i could go 220 with a 200 gallon sump/fuge/growout system and a euro reef rc 1000 skimmer etc etc

Just a note, that was Murphs205 that had the bow front blowout. I was just trying to get him some help. My reef is a 220 Perfecto.

isnt joe trying to get rid of a 58 gal oceanic or am I missing somthing

This is maybe out of line as I don't know if he wants to sell any of his tanks. But I was up at Joe22883's house today and he has I think over 10 empty tanks in his place. If you contact him, he might want to sell you one of those tanks. Hey Joe if you read this, its just a suggestion. Don't know if you want to get rid of any of those tanks or not.

OOPs about the blowout misprint......I guess when u read so many forums they all get a little blurred. I dont know if i want to bug someone about their tanks if they did not offer. But thanks for the heads up.

I haven't heard of any mishaps with the All-Glass curved front tanks. That one was an Oceanic bowfront. The All-Glass Corner tanks are great for aquascaping IMO. There is a some nice depth to them and they look great without taking up too much real estate for their volume.
I have seen some nice looking 54g corner tanks and the 92g can't be beat in my opinion. The 92's are 4 feet wide and 34" from front to back with a 24" height.
The hardest part is getting a nice sized sump under them. I solved that problem by running the plumbing downstairs to the big sump/fuge in the basement. Then you get all the pumps and noisy equipment out of the living space too.

Ahhh Grasshopper so much to learn You don't ASK anything... you just let them enjoy the quiet tank and only mention it if there is no other option. :lol:

My wife saw me with a holesaw cutting the plumbing through to the basement and said, "Oh boy what are you putting there now?"

I just had someone over tonight that couldn't believe the tank was running and had 800 gph going through the overflow.
