What size did you settle on for the upgrade? Are we allowed to know or is it a secret?
No secret, its a Marineland 90 (as the 110's I found were significantly more expensive....) gallon! Im very excited! It will include another AI sol blue fixture and Reef keeper light (anybody have a better controler option?)?
Also,
I am now trying to figure out if it would be better to go with two mp-10's or 1 mp-40 on this 90. I currently have Redsea wavemaker pro with 2 550's koralias, 1 750 koralia and 1 1050 koralia. Would it be worth the switch from what I currently have?

It was a sign from above....... are you going to stain it or leave it be..
I think as is right now, as it will match our railing. But in the future I want it a really dark cherry ..... They had a sweet ceder one, that I was debating, but they wanted $800 for both on that one..... a bit out of my price range. The ceder wood was beautiful though!

I won on it..... the VETO was a good thing in my eyes, because the Ceder is a Medium Red with White marbling..... VERY nice! Now I LOVE my new stand! Will post pix when not at work....
