yep, did the math too and came out with the same thing. Now i need to reconfigure my measurements. I want it at least 200 gallons. Thanks for the formula though. Very Helpful!.

Okay, I took a measuring tape and got some measurements that I want. The tank would be 5' wide on the face, 3' high, and 18" width on the sides. How many gallons would this be?????

Again, thanks for the info. The reason I want to keep it a few inches off of the floor is to clean under it, (if/when water spills). I am a neat freak and can't stand not cleaning under my couches, let alone a tank. Guess I haven't considered all of that weight. I'll put it on hold and do a...

thanks....it's still in the planning phase!

I looked at your link for the tank under construction....it's huge. It's like a swimming pool. Anyway, the 4x4 sounds much more stable that little legs. I didn't realize it would be that heavy. Do you have any suggestions where i can get the acrylic precut for me from??

I am planning on doing a diy 200-250 gal tank with a custom stand/canopy. However i would like to have the stand a few inches off of the floor. I would like to add a bunch of little legs maybe 4" off of the floor. Would a tank of this size and weight be stable enough to do that? The...

TAKE THIS AS MY CUE TO RID OF MINE BEFORE I COMPLETE MY ROCK SET UP AND ADD FISH. ^BUMP

That's funny. About 3 months ago I bought a 30 gallon tank. 6 weeks into it I upgraded to a 45 gallon tank. Now i'm on the hunt for a 200-250 gallon tank.......My current 45 doesn't have enough room for all the things i want in my tank. ;)

new to the sw world. But I suppose it's because in a tank they are restricted. In the ocean they can go and come as the please. just my opinion.

thanks. not as bad as i thought. my lfs has one for $1,000. My toddler takes that from me so i'm on a budget here. So i guess i'll look for a used one. Which would be better glass/acrylic. I currently have glass w/no complaints.

looking to upgrade my 45 gal in the next few months and looking for a 200-250 gallon tank. New or used in good condition. Tank Only. I plan on building my stand.

no thanks, getting ready to get rid of mine (lfs).

Thanks, my lfs store gave my husband some small dead fish. He put it in and they ate it to scraps. I don't have a lion fish yet, but that is my first fish I plan to buy. Beautiful!

Thanks. I'll wait awhile. I don't see any alge yet, but there is some coraline growing on my lr.

JUST CURIOUSE..... NEW TO SW.... WHAT IS A REFUGIUM? OR HOWEVER IT IS SPELLED.

I have a 45 gallon with about 60lb ls, 30lb lr, 5 damsels, 12" carrot sponge, 2 - 1/2 inch peppermint shrimp that hijacked on a lr. I need a "clean up crew that won't eat my shrimp since i am planning on keeping them. Thing is... What is a clean up crew and what will they do for my tank? I read...

I bought a 10lb rock which i found two small peppermint shrimp living in it. I had to chase them out of the hole with a pen to find out what they were. They don't come out in day time. So how should I care for my new pets? What do they eat? I only have 5 damsels in the tank right now, would they...

Ihave them too. So should I do anything about it or should I just leave them there?

HAS THIS BEEN SOLD YET? I'M LOOKING TO BUY A SUMP FOR MY 40 GAL FOWLR. YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT BHOWELL@IDINE.COM

I have a 45 gal tall and looking to "sump it" too but I don't know how. I don't want to drill holes in my tank. I have a diagram of one but to me that is like finding a needle in a haystack. Can someone help me get mine going???? Oh! also new to the sw thing.
