Nice tank, I like it so far. Looks good. Wish I could find a tank and stand like that for 200, I'd grab it too.

What? False, I've personally been stung by a lionfish and its just a bit worse than a bee sting for me.

Seem pretty fair to me, I know with the stand it would be about 1000 at my local fish stores for tanks of those sizes. Definitely seems within reason atleast, less than 400 for a 125 predrilled is nice.

$200!!! I want haha, I been keeping an eye out on craigslist but so far nothing good yet. maybe I'll get lucky too

Awesome, I'm just planning on getting a 90 gallon tank, I like yours better but I think its a little out of my budget :/ (still in college) But you have an amazing tank! Very nice setup

Thats good, I honestly thought you went and got a tank at first and threw some fish in there and I was like fail start haha. Hope they do well tho, keep us updated with pics and whatnot. And def keep the lights off as mkroher said, that will help a lot atleast for another day or two I would say.

Oh and to post a pic on here just insert image using the button on the toolbar I believe. Looks like a little picture of a house next to the video reel button. Just find the file on your computer and select it

Yeah, so you get the tank used with the fish already in it and set up? A little more info please, also whats the big basketball looking rock in the back right? Is it just a huge round rock? Just curious about it all Oh and yes more live rock would be good, fishies need places to hide, especially...

If your set on making it super tall, it could work. When you clean it you could just do massive water changes at the same time, like take out half so you can lean down in and be able to reach the bottom without submerging your face. Not sure if this still allows you to take it to the floor but...

Why not just make it only like 2 feet deep so you can arrange the rocks and have corals. I would prefer that over the extra depth imo.

Hey Saxman, how big is your Volitan tank?

I always heard triggers and lions dont get along sometimes? The trigger will nip at the lionfish's fins. Maybe add the lion first so he'll have been there first, might help control the aggression. And yes I second DeeJeff's statement about adding them slowly.

Awesome tank, can't wait til mine looks like that. I love the clownfish

Well since this will be an "aggressive tank" with the lionfish, make sure you have ample amounts of filtration (aka a good wet/dry system) or something sufficient to knock out all the waste their going to be producing. But anyways, onto the fish. Those sound good, you could toss an eel in there...

Suggestions? Sounds like you know what your doing already haha. I think a lot of people don't quite like the UV sterilizers, especially in reef tanks. I'll let someone else who knows more talk about that though since I've never used one. Seems like you've done your research and are pretty good...

Awesome, thanks fellas. I'm making a trip to the hardware store this weekend and getting to work. I'll keep you guys updated on my progress and post back if I have anymore questions, I think I got it now tho but we'll see. You guys are amazing

A Peacock Mantis Shrimp only tank! So easy yet so awesome. Just get some live rock for him to hide in and feed him little critters. Thats my vote atleast, a different option than the norm. Go check out a video on youtube about them

Alright, so here comes hopefully not my stupidest question but we'll see. Is this the right acrylic I should use in my sump/fuge? Acrylic And what do you use to cut it? My dad is a constructor so I have almost every saw/tool possible that I'm able to use. Just a standard blade on a table saw...

Really? Well glad I said something then. What do you guys suggest? I used to have a... I forgot but it was the cheap one. Seaclone 100 maybe? And I figured I should probably just go get a better quality one. Money isn't too much of an issue but nothing ridiculously expensive please.

And thank you by the way :) I plan on starting construction next weekend on this setup, finally got a free weekend to get to work. I'm excited
