fkdenton,
If your that bored at work you can help me design my closed loop for my 90 gallon.
Oh, and is it time to start harassing Henry for a meeting date yet? LOL

well if more people lived in B-N I'd offer up my place but it is not worth it at this time (not even from Decatur), nothing to look at except the basic setup.
That and if you wanted to look at it and talk about where it stands right now there is my 125g progress thread.... ;P
I'll see where things stand in 6 months.

Well if the soap operas are gone, then maybe I can return?
I came today to ask people's opinion on setting up a tank. We are currently setting up a 125 reef, but I have learned of a 185 for $400 obo. Should I go for it? My husband says no. I say that we could just as easily use the 185 as opposed to a 125 since it isn't up and running yet. (I think he's more worried about who will help him transport it because it's so big.)
What would you guys do? We do have limited space to put it in. Would it really be much bigger dimension wise than a 125, or would it just be taller?
Thanks!

I would get the dimensions from the seller. Bigger tank would be nice, but means more salt, possibly bigger pump and lighting. Do you already have everything you need for the 125?

Yeah the tank comes with stand and canopy. I don't need the canopy though because we will be suspending MH pendants above an open top. I think the tank is actually set up as a freshwater tank right now. Not sure about that though.
We have everything for the 125, but since we are going from FOWLR to reef, I will have to buy new equipment. We are eliminating a wet/dry and have built a 55 gallon sump/fuge, and we are still in the process of buying equipment to set up the 125 as a reef but we haven't bought anything yet. I was actually planning a trip to Premium Aquatics to look at what they have in the next couple of weeks. We expect our metal halides to come sometime in the next week. That's sort of why I was debating just stepping up the size of the tank, while I am still in the purchasing phase.
But 300 pounds? Holy crap! I can help my hubby move the 125 over short distances as long as there are no stairs involved, but I could never think to budge anything that big.

We ordered two Aqua-Medic Oceanlight 24" pendants, 1x250 HQI with a T-5 combo. We also ordered it with an electric ballast as opposed to a magnetic.
Since I'm not a bodybuilder, I'll pass on the 185.

When is doubt go with the larger tank - You will be happier in the end. Besides the 125 would make a killer sump (grin)
CIMA members have been known to help move tanks especially if it involves food + beer (and sometimes just beer)

Run away from that big tank as fast as you can.
And, umm..., what's the number to call for it?
Think about the space it's going in. It'll be a bit larger
than the 125, front to back and height(?). Maybe not
that much difference overall, just thinking how it might
fit your space. It'll also end up a bit heavier, but you've
already considered your floor support (right?)

Oh, and...
