Even my wife told the sales people that when we retire and move to our last home, we will get the largest tank we can fit in that house. I went with the cad tank because I don't want a sump running in our current living room. Even the quietest of sumps makes noise. That and it triples the chance of catastrophic events.
Yup. Makes perfect sense. I like the design of your Cad's overflow area a lot. And the fact that the returns are independent, giving you more flexibility there. Quite honestly if I knew then what I know now, I very possibly would have gone with that exact tank to begin with. I had a specific budget in mind and mistakenly thought that doubling the size of the tank would double the cost of everything else and that's obviously not the case. Like you, the 75 would definitely be the largest tank I could fit in our current space.
Can't wait to start reading your build thread! I'll take Biz's question about heaters a step further and ask what kind you're planning to get. I'm running the Cobalt 150W (the plastic guy) in the Fusion right now and have a Finnex titanium that I use for water changes and am really giving serious thoughts to replacing that Cobalt with another titanium. I've read several reports of folks that came home to have a tripped circuit breaker, a house that smelled like burnt plastic, and a black goo all over their display tank from failed Cobalt heaters. But then other people say they've used the same one for years without any problems.
