It seems that even at 300 gal I am thinking I could have gone bigger.

I know what you guys mean. I was thinking of going wider but ran out of room. I have already thought about using my 300 as a sump down the line. HAHHAHHA.
I am going to start doing some research on controllers. I am trying to plan how I want my calcium reactor set up as well. I am also thinking on getting a kalk reactor. I like this months TOM the way he has his kalk turn on when his ph gets low. Now I am rethinking aquacontroller junior and may go with something else.
How do you guys feed your fuge? My fuge and sump will be below my tank. I was thinking of running one drain to the fuge and the other to the sump. Then drill the 55fuge to drain into the 75sump. Anybody have any other good ideas.

I am not there yet.More than likely both drains will go into my sump.My sump and fuge will be the same.I have my old sump witch I thought of using as a fuge but I will have to see when everything is setup.

Damn Eric that is one sweet pit.I have a 5 1/2 yr old american staffordshire terrier and wouldnt trade her for the world.Best dogs you can ever get imo.
The tank looks great,have heard some horror stories from glass cages,but like you stated mostly about customer service.
Look forward to seeing some progress and more pics.

Yes I am also looking into a controller.Having a deep tank is a pain.My 150 was 30" and trust me the depth is nice to look at but when you have to stick your hands in the tank or pick something up that fell your arm pit gets wet.This is why I went with 24"

Alpine - I am trying to push myself. Work has been a little crazy since I got home.
Lunchbucket- I got him from a friend who got the daddy from Miami, I saw your site and saw your Torino, My first car was a 74 ford Torino. Cool…
NanoGurl- Thanks. He is a cute little guy.
Clekchau- Damm 145 at 10months that’s big.
Danskim- I think I might go with the jr. also. What else does everyone use on their systems?
Paul- how do you control your Kalk. I like the one you were talking about.

Well I did squeeze a little work in. I got the outside of the wall sanded and put some primer on it. I hate drywall…I started priming the inside of the stand while I was at it. Here are some pics. One more cut of mud and the texture and it will be ready for paint.

Bart -I had the AC cranking. In Florida the AC is always on. I know I need to clean all my filters big time. That fan was so I could vent out the fumes of the paint. I have a ton of dust to clean. I need to do the other side and sand one more time. Then plenty of cleaning. I think tonight I will cover more then my tank.
Paul _ I just want to get this drywall done and spray the texture. Cant wait till I am there. So close..
