I'm in the process of building my "dream setup", for this house anyway. I've got a 110g (60x18x23) that I've got about 3/4 full of SW, should start cycling by this weekend. In another room I've got a copy of the BRS frag tank build they've been plugging lately. I found all the hardware at a hydroponics store in Pelham for about half the price. So maybe I'm in the running for total system volume? Especially if you let me count my 180g Cichlid tank, haha.
Oh, and I think it's FW right now, but Bobby has a 235 somewhere at one of his offices.

Heyy, didn't know you were on here.
The Goby commited suicide last night... jumped to his death out the back.
Have you gotten a new tank, yet?

Had a bad time with the corals after the move since I decided to keep the sand (bad idea), lost the leather, zoas, and anemone, but one mushroom and all the fish survived. Just added a skimmer last week and everything is looking nice. You can stop by and check it out some time if you want.

Yea Im getting back in it but I'm looking for a 75 drilled is as big as I want to go. That's good that the fish lived.. When I first got my 55 gal I bought it off CL and we moved it with the sand and I never had any problems but who knows.. On guess the nitrates could have been bad after all the moving around

Everything was testing fine, so it wasn't the nitrates or ammonia... some deep buried craziness came out and killed stuff. I'll get some pics up in a few.

Hoover, off Acton. There's a hydroponics store in Pelham that I bought all my frag tank gear from. Basically this kit from BRS.
If you do the math I think it's 107.5g. But that's before rock and sand of course. I really like the tank size. I did a full coast to coast overflow with a BeanAnimal drain. Dead silent, works like a champ.

Sounds good. How do you light yours. I'm going to use 2 250watt MH's and 4 10w led multichips.

Yeah, I also added 30 more pounds and it's caught up as well.

I like the aquascape!
Nice, I'm doing Apollo Solarblasts (because I have an Apex). I'm a little scared going all LED, I know Mark went back from LED's, but I'm all in for now.
