    ya i wanted a smaller one but the people i talked to said the smaller they are the harder they are to keep up. With the larger ones there is more room for error.

    nice, u sure that's a 65? It looks rather small.. I would love to have a 150 gallon, but i don't have my own place yet, so i'll stick to my little 30 gallon.

    36wide..18deep..24tall. For the space i had it fits perfect. The longer ones that are not as tall look much larger. The room is pretty small so it fits nice right beside my desk.

    Added some plants and a boat!!! The water still isnt ready for fish buts its close. The water is still kinda messy from me moving stuff around.

    Very nice it looks like you have a great start in reef tanks. My uncle and his g/f have two about the siz of yours maybe a little bigger. And my grand parents have a very nice 200 gallon in there living room. They really are nice when they get setup right. If I were you I would get some small sharks to put in it and then you would be pimpin james bond style. :jerkit:

    I go to "Pet Showcase" in Hiram. Robby really knows his stuff.

    As far as VCA no i dont belong. I went to one of their little meets but have done anything with them in a while. Not trying to sound bad but half of the guys didnt even know what kind of block their own car had or what an A arm was.... Not that i care but i thought it was kinda funny... Nice Rt-10

    also, if you want quality fish and a great price, i have a tropical fish store to refer you too. NO ONE can beat their prices. exp: bought my blue ribbon eel $60, purple tile fish (large) $35. online prices are $63 for these guys. lawnmower blenny (medium) $15

    Tank looks good so far, Just curious but is this a self cleaning tank? I have a turtle in a 20 Gallon tank and it's always a pain in the ass to clean his tank out.
