Great start !

What are some of the reasons for choosing the 210?

I have been considering the same size, upgrade from 120.

TIA

Well actually I went to the pet store to purchase a 180, but when I got there the 180 had oak trim and the 210 had black trim and I wanted a black trim tank.

The price was right, the 180 being $1056 and the 210 being $1101 for the tank, glas tops, and stand for a reef ready tank so i bought the 210.

I love the 210 because you can either build up the rock all the way, but I decided to build the rock work for a 180 in the 210 giving me a lot of swimming space for the fish (I like fish so I need to have the swimming space for the large fish).

The real only negative for me is that it is a lot taller and I am only 5'5" tall so i use a step stool and even then its a reach for me to get to the bottom of the tank.

Thanks for the reply, I thought you had missed my post.

I am leaning more towards the 210 also. I have also been considering starfire glass if it's not too expensive.

Thanks again and I will continue to follow along.
