You should definitely get a bigger tank.
In fact, I know a guy that would take that 300 of your hands.
My grocery store has dedicated tanks for lobster...
When they get up to a a pound and a half, they seem to disappear...
Seriously, the tank is looking great. I don't think you're overstocked yet, but those tang are going to grow... :fish1: How do you keep the Chromis from killing each other?
Congratulations.

Well mine is 4' front to back, and I feel the same way sometimes...It was huge and overwhelming at first,but now I wished I would have went with 10' long instead of 8'. Never happy, lol.

Definitely keep you posted. Might have to shop for a divorce attorney though, lol. I'm still recovering from this build...
Ya know, he does look kinda tasty...
Regarding the chromis, not sure but 7 seems to be the magic number. Every time I add them, I end up with 7 again. A few weeks ago, I bought 10 more. My clowns dragged all 10, one by one, into the anemone. Nothing like flushing $50 down the drain.
I hear you. When I moved this one into the house, I told my self, I'll never need a new tank. Less than 6mos later, I am dreaming of bigger. Originally I was thinking about 4' x 8', however the thought of lighting it gave me cold sweats. Once my kids are out of the house....

Thanks a bunch! Although I love the dimensions, its never enough....
Jeff, What a fandamntabulous tank! I have to see it in person. Was great meeting you today and really enjoyed the conversation
Keep up the superb work.....you have made magic!
Rita
Likewise! By all means, Rita, anytime you find yourself north, just let me know. You are welcome to check it out.
LOL, sure it will. Don't let all the gadgets fool you. I use as much automation as possible because I travel a lot. Otherwise, its not all necessary. Simple means less potential failure points. And I am so very human. I have made every mistake one can and then some....

Although I like the fantech, it alone is not sufficient to remove the humidity generated by my system. I do run it on a humidistat and in conjunction with a dehumidifier, it seems to work ok. The fan is not noisy at all though.
Now my challenge is to pipe fresh air back into the room to avoid pH issues. In the end, I think I am going to spring for a full blown air exchanger with heat recovery.

The regenative air exchangers work very well. My parents use one on their superinsulated house in northern (almost to canada) NY.
Believe it or not it is much colder and three times the snow of Chardon.

I'm not sure where I can mount it. The corner of the house where I have everything vented seems to trap some noxious gases from the leach bed. I had a guy come out and explain it was simply the way the house was situated on the lot. They air gets trapped in that little nook. I was pulling in very low pH air.
Not sure how the wife would feel about a 6" inch hole on the viewable side of the house

If you only had access from the front and sides of the tank would you be able to clean the back glass or move corals around in the middle of the tank?
