Thanks for the replays. I always wanted to try keeping a blue power and figured that would be off the table with the 150. Thinking I'd put a purple, and yellow, or sailfin if I continue with the 150. Beaslbob- good to see a familiar name. I remember seeing some of your posts from way back...

After selling off all my equipment 13 years ago. I'm now at a point in my life to jump back in. There is a local pet distributor warehouse near me that is going out of business and I was able to pick up a tank from them. It's a marineland 150 reef ready. (4'x2'x30") I had my mind set on a...

Reef....

Heres a pic.

I have a 75 gallon now and was thinking about getting a 90 with built-in overflow. This way I can keep the stand. I would need the overflow built-in on the end. The tank is set up beween the living room and kitchen. Now I got thinking and I could fit a 120 gallon in there. I'll just...

Heres mine.

Anyone I'd like to get this thing ordered....

Birdy, I never had a problem keeping it clean. And yes the aquascapeing is a pain, but I like it. Well, since they dont make the tank like that, I would have to have it custom made. While I'm doing this should I have the bulkhead holes drilled bigger. To handle more flow and so I don't have...

What are some pro and cons of this model? I'm thinking about upgradeing to a 90 gallon. Right now I have a 75. The tank is between the living room and the kitchen so the overflow will be centered on one of the ends of the tank. Like this;
