I have a 125g acrylic with center overflow and blue back im getting rid of for a dollar a gallon if you wanna upgrade the right way. I have it on craigslist now. It needs a buff but will be a great upgrade from a cube. Just throwing it out there if you want. Good luck with upgrade. I'm also upgrading soon, deciding on either a 180 or 220 in the spring of 2013 if the Myans where wrong and we're still here lol.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

Thanks but i wanna stay at 80 gallon display an i love glass tanks. And i think we will be here come 2013

 

[RFADCT]

Np, I agree. Glass is the way to go. I have a 125 glass with painted black back as well, also a dollar a gallon. Its not drilled though. Ive had my 75 glass for a while but it seems your just never happy and always need bigger. At least thats how I am.

 

[RFADCT]

lol, I've had many tanks.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

so i called up one store today tropicaquarium in ocean, jersey... they said they can get the tank but its 385.00 rimless and RR. :scratch: im gonna make a few more calls to diff. stores im pretty sure i can get one for 350.00 and closer to my house....

Tony, why 80? Why not 120 gallon?

Tony, why 80? Why not 120 gallon?

[Tonyscoots84]

[Chiefmcfuz]

[Tonyscoots84]

ok so i decided i think im going to order the 2 mp40's and ati 48" 8 bulb sunpower fixture for the moment. im gonna wait on the skimmer and gotta find a store to get my tank and sump that im going to build and we are offffffffffff ....

 

[RFADCT]

Nice, just picled up my 3rd MP40WES. Fish just didnt look like they where getting flung around as much as I'd like.

 

[Tonyscoots84]

stand layout as of now

 

[Tonyscoots84]

how does the future 40 gallon sump look

i left the skimmer chamber big enough so i can upgrade one day from my sro xp 2000

 

[Exotic Reef]

50 in high are you crazy maybe 45 in but 50 thats. Alot. Then again you want rimless so it might look better

 

[noelskii]

50" high!? that's crazy...are you putting the stand downstairs and watch the tank from updtairs? :lol2: can't wait to see that!

 

[masterswimmer]

My 75g is built in-wall and I set the base of the tank at 43". That is above the height of any couch that might be put in front of the tank and high enough so that you don't have to bend over at all (unless you're 6'6" and I'm not) to see the tank unimpeded. 50" does seem excessively high IMO. But to each his own

As for your sump design, I've got some opinions on that T. LMK if you're interested.
