Well I'm kicking around the idea of getting a bigger tank! I've been wanting one since I did the equipment room, but I just couldnt' see replacing my Starphire 190. When I bought it, it was all I had room for. Now I think I'm going to go bigger. I've already sent in requests for quotes from a few tank MFGs including miracles in glass who did a Great job on my current tank!
I figured I'd ask what you guys thoughts were. I'm thinking about a 280 or so Probably 72"X36"X25" If I went with an external overflow like I have now it would be 290Gallons. It would be Low Iron glass on the front and sides like I have now. I would probably rebuild my Stand a canopy to split the difference. As in the new tank would sink into the wall 6" more then my current tank and also come out into the display room about 6". If I do a internal overflow I might even go 40" wide to make up for the overflow.
Alot of you have seen my setup if not in person atleast pictures. Im thinking a 280 or so would be a pretty good fit? That size would allow me to keep all my current equipment but at the same time Id gain an extra foot of width! I might have to replace my LUMIII mini Reflectors for full size LUMIII, but besides that I think I'd be good.
I dont know I just figured I'd see what size you guys would do and opinions on the setup.
