everything (tank, stand, rock, accessories, lights, ect.) has come up to $30,000. And it seems that i wind up spending 100-200 every weekend on corals, fish, ect.

OK, well all I need to do is sell my husband's Infiniti and I'm set.

Well..............I guess I need to live my dream through you. Be sure to post lots of pics as it progresses. I already saved the picture of the whole tank on my computer.
My brother is building a 6800 sq. ft. house, so I should show him this picture. It's just him and his wife so he has lots of rooms to fill.

Hey Frank
I have been waiting for you to post pictures becasue I remember when you first posted during the building stage..........WOW I yelled at my wife to come take a look at it because the last time I showed it to her while you buliding it she said that if I build it I will have to live in it. I said sure

VERY VERY NICE all I want is to upgrade form my 90 to a 125 or 210 now you got me thinging again of course BIGGER BABY

Holy Crap! ... for that price I could build the great barrier reef and stock it with mermaids.
Another reason to DIY.

Im trying to remember the name of that clam. Is it a tridacna crocea? If so do they get bigger? I have it in the rocks right now because thats what the lfs said to keep it but i really wanted to put it on my sand. Anyone have any tips or preferences?

After seeing your cleaner shrimp I started thinking, "can't imagine how much of a clean up crew you need for that thing!" :scared: Pictures are going to be AMAZING 6 months from now! Can't wait!!!! :cheer: Oh, I want to see pictures of your sump.

Well, have to go and get to work on my 125 NANO tank.

I don't think your tank is big enough for those hippos! J/K Very nice, cant wait to see what it looks like in six months to a year. Good Job, and keep us posted.
