I think that height is more than enough. Sounds like youre building the same fish list as me civickid?
Besides, have you seen the price change when you add another 6" of height? Glad Im not a reef addict!
The model I bought from them is a 8x4x4. Im thinking of buying the 10x4x30" soon.

too bad they dont make any wider tanks than 4 feet cause it would be nice to get a tank that is 10-6-2. You could keep just about any of the smaller skarks in there for the life of them.
GAS how did you get your tank in your house with it being that big. I was going to have them bring it in the garage and set it on my stand. How heavy was you tank you ardered from them

The house was still in the works then so it was easy cause none of the walls were finished. Just slid it in. It took 7 well built men to get it done.

If you are serious about getting a tank that size, email me at saltyboy21@yahoo.com
I can build you one, and since you aren't very far from me, you wouldn't pay ridiculous shipping prices.

Tanks that big will usually be shipped direct by the manufacturer provided they have proper transportation.

Just so you know what you're getting into, you'll spend 250 a month just to run that tank.

and salt, water, chemicals, supplements...

Not a lot, but yeah. The typical salt, pH chem, iodine if you choose, multivitamins and I think your underestimating the electricity cost. When the 125 went up, by bill increased another $75. Hope you dont need a/c.

Well, triple the amount of water that tank uses and the electricity to move it. Then, add on the skimmer, UV, canister filters, heaters/chillers- thats a big jump.

50 dolllars??? I spend that on food/supplements in a month.
A 20% water change would be 120gallons at a minimum, provided you do not have another 50gallons for the sump. Say you had a 50gal sump, then you have 650 gal, 20% water changes would be almost a bucket of salt alone, every month.
You don't plan on running a 600gallon acrylic tank with all powerheads and airstones for sharks do you? That's pretty tacky IMO.
2 bags squid/shrimp and vitamins per week will be 50 bucks a month.
