oh trust me melev I havfe been trying =) and pizza is in the offer!
I am not sure this is true.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=10304057#post10304057 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by NanoGurl However, I would have to replace my 150's with 250's at least which I'm not sure I'm interested in doing... but i'm still pondering this. Just wanted to give everyone an update on the difference. [/B]

96" x 24" x 24" would be great. Plus it'll work as a coffin later on.![]()

haha i agree with melev, I was thinking of maybe building a 36 x 24 x 24, that way it would be alot easier for me to move it by myself in the future, cause I have trouble moving the 4ft 75 right now. I got some quotes on cell cast acrylic sheets and it was around 180-200 for an 8 x 4 sheet .5" thickness, I might go this route, plus it will give me something to do lol

I guess the tank size depends on what you are looking for. I have a 96x24x24 and would opt for a 48x48x24 next time. It guess i just like the deep tanks, and it could be viewed from three sides equally as well.

I am not sure this is true.
I was quite happy with 2 x 150's and 4 x 3' VHO's over my 100g, which was 28" top to bottom. I had to be very careful what I picked and where I put it but it worked. Another thought is that you will need more lights anyway, either 150's or 250's, so you could use your 150's towards the outer ends and a 250 or two in the center. This will also save a bit of electricity.

I would definetly go as wide as possible. It really helps with aquascape IMO.I just ordered a 96 x 30 x 25 from glass cages. With 2 low iron panels and internal overflows. I started building my wall and I was suprised 96 is long... I really wanted a 36 but settled for a 30 due to space.
