Patients patients and more patients!!!!!

Read study and then read and study some more. Don't rush your water it can wait. You should have everything in order before you ever think about adding water. Its easier to fix now before you add water and find something is not right.

You could look at a 40 breeder or even a 55 if it will fit under your stand.

I am not sure what kind of work Jason does, and how he talks his patients (sounds like he uses a lot of them) into building his sump, but, I am sure his patients had patience when they built his sump. Here is another good link on sumps. This is the guy that spoke at our conference last year.

Dogma how do you like the dimensions of this tank?

I have a 225 that i'm trying to get rid of and I'm thinking about doing a 150H like yours to save a couple feet in the living room but still have it 24d and 30t...or maybe a marineland 200dd - 48x36x27 or 250dd - 60x36x27. I just have to get away from a 6' long tank and do a 4 or 5....

All patients have doctors, but not all doctors have patience....:clown:

I would think a tall tank would be a pain to clean (glass front and back) due to its height. I am tall already, but if I need to scrape something off the bottom on my tank 75G, I already have to get to the top of my mini ladder and really stretch to get to the bottom.

You also might have to think about the PAR levels that far away from your lights?

Then again, if you have patients, they can clean it for you when they are not building your sump...(Sorry Jason, still trying to ketchup lol2 with all your slams over the years...LOL
