  1. Started a new project this weekend. Picked up lewisriverfisherman's 150 gallon tank and stand. This is going to be my temporary tank while we start a new in-wall build for our family room. I put the tank in our unfinished "hobby" room in the basement. We are going to install wood floors in the rest of the basement, so I'm going to get this tank up and running and then transfer over my 75 gallon to it. That will free up the space for the floors. Once the floors are done, I can start the big build. ;).

     

    The size of this tank (48" x 30") is perfect for me because I can use most of my existing 75g equipment and save the $ for the final tank.

     

     

    Since it your temporary tank are you going tong to keep it once you get your new tank set up?

    And I'm only asking because I'm wanting to upgrade my 75gallon to a larger tank but I'm in a apartment so I don't have to much space and your 150 has just about the same foot print as my 75

  2. If you should want to venture into sps' date=' post a thread with any questions you have. Just my opinion, but sps is much more rewarding to keep and we have a few members that are quite good at keeping sps tanks.[/quote']

     

    Yeah I bet they are I think they are beautiful but have always heard they were high maintenance but I might go ahead and venture into sps I already have like 12 different types of monti's and one green and blue acro that I got for like 7 $ to just try out

  3. They aren't really that bad. Beth and I are just both addicts which is a bad combination as it leads to a coral crackhouse and 4 tanks (laugh). You just have to make sure the parameters are more spot on but there are some aquacultured acros that can be very forgiving.

     

    that makes sense

    oh really I wonder if I could do it then because I've kind gone crazy with monti's and they are loving my tank and at the meeting last week I bought the green acro with blueish/purple polyps to just try it out and its doing just fine and I'm just using 4 t5's but an wanting to upgrade to either 8 t5's or LEDs
