Some last photos before the 40 breeder comes down.

Here is my shallow reef submission. There have been some smokin' tanks in this thread.:smokin:

You're out.. the club has made an unanimous decision that the max height is 20" tops. Good luck joining the tall tank reef club :lol:

Yes, it will a downsize. The focus now will be on quality, not quantity. With my upcoming travel schedule and such, a smaller tank will be more manageable. Plus, I can now put the new tank in my movie/gaming area. I also like the fact that the new tank will be viewable from 3 sides as opposed to the one sided view of the in-wall I currently have. Personally, I am never going with an in-wall setup again. In-wall restricts your view(Unless you have 2 sides visible) and makes it harder to work on(at least for me it does).

As soon as Derrick from Miracles gives me a call I will be driving up to Toronto to pick up the tank. I figure I will pickup the tank and continue onto Niagara Falls. You know, make a weekend of it.

The only thing that sucks is the tank may sit empty for a month or so because of the move.

I am positive that in the future, I will once again venture into a large tank. But for now it is just too much work! :hmm4: :hmm4: :hmm4:

Downsizing a bit? I love your current tank.

I just ordered a 72 x 30 x 26 LWH tank from Miracles a couple weeks ago. Can't wait to get it. I had a couple acrylic tanks locally built to serve as a frag & fuge tanks. I suppose the frag tank qualifies as a shallow reef (18" tall).

....Famous last words?? :lol:

I'm with you on more viewing angles than one. I originally planned to go rimless, but the thought of all that humidity in the house drove me away. I can always view it from the other angles in the fish room.

I also agree with your movie/gaming area. In fact, just in case I ever get bored with my tank, a little push of a button will cause a motorized screen to come down in front of it for a projector/home theater system to excite. My basement isn't huge, so I had to take advantage of the space I have to work with.

Must be nice to schedule the trip to Toronto. It'd be a good excuse to see a friend in Toronto, but somehow I don't think I could fit the tank and stand in our Edge and make it through customs. :lol:

What are your plans for your current livestock?

I just barley made it in then, 36x24x20, 75gallons. Made by oceanview in Mississippi, and should be here in about 8-10 weeks

 

[xtm]

SPSing.. dunno why but I love your username

 

[hatfielj]

I have similar dimensions on my tank too! Its 36X30X20. So far I absolutely love these new dimensions and so does my tang and wrasses. I'm going to be posting info on my set up as soon as I get to the stage where I have corals in there and thriving, which should be in the next month or two hopefully

LOL if you can count all of them there's really 4 there

Normally the tank was covered in towels to keep it scratch free

You can see my Touring car in this pic
