    120 Gallon or 125 Gallon tank. Which would you take?

    Lighting and lighting choices on a 6 ft tank are more difficult. 6ft systems are very expensive compared to 4ft. and two 36" units leave a dead spot in the middle. If you do get a 125 make sure its got two clear braces and not just one in the middle.

    Moving an Established Tank

    I've moved a 125gal twice now. Its not too bad. I replaced the sand . When you remove it from the existing tank, the stuff that comes out looks/smells pretty bad and I couldn't bring myself to put it back in.

    34 gallon all in one aquarium

    I'm thinking the maintenance won't change very much, maybe even increase a little. The cost of maintenance may be lower due to less salt and cheaper light bulbs, but it sounds like time your trying to save and in my humble opinion it wont save much.

    Buying LR online vs from LFS pros and cons

    1. I think it depends on how much LR you need. If your adding a top layer of deco then its nice to get pieces you can pick, but if your just starting a large tank, online is the way to go. 2. If you like your LFS Rock, then ask him where he got it, and order from there and cure it yourself...
