Hello All!
Looking at getting a new tank. This tank is a 170 gallon Ocean View piano style glass aquarium, with blue overflow box, blue background, predrilled holes, hand-made real wood cabinet stand and canopy in natural cherry F136, plumbing kit, glass cover, feeder tube. It is priced new with shipping at roughly $2300. If i add the light system which is 908w (2x400w MH + 2x54w T5HO) *$850*, or 608w (2x250w MH + 2x54w T5HO)*$600*, or 408w (2x150w MH + 2x54w T5HO)*$490*. If i add the filtration system it is another $450 and has these features; 75-watt main water pump handles 930gph water supply to your tank smoothly and quietly. Dimension: 35 1/2"L x 16"W x 19"H. Im going to add some pictures from the site but not links because i dont think that is allowed. So what do you guys think about the prices all around for a new system and how about which lighting is best for at the most moderate level corals.
Thanks Brandon

LOL! That is the size of the sump. The dimensions of the tank itself is Overall dimension: 62"L x 26"W x 70"H (with tank, stand, and canopy), tank height: 30"
With That being said i guess the total water would be around 240. Sweet.

the shape of the tank just isnt for me. you asked for opinions, and that's mine. i dont like the tank. it's interesting, but cleaning and photography would be a real pain, IMO

This tank would probably be better suited for a fish only setup. It's a cool look, but it's going to be a PITA to clean and set up proper flow needed for a reef tank.

That's the foot print of the tank. The curve of it reduces the water volume.

i have a 95 wave front and its not that bad to clean. i did take some inventing to get good flow though, but its not impossible.
