I would have a basic setup on it, no fancy rock work, just enough to get things ready to go into the show tanks

Yea I have thought about that. I would like to have a spare tank in case I had to medicate a shark. For a frag tank I was thinking some smaller tanks like the stores use.

In time will tell :-) Still have a ways to go

That and I just did a full overhaul on my 55 gallon freshwater, so she is already yelling at me about wanting to get a few more fish to finish my stock lol

Awesome! That is a step in the right direction for bigger tanks

Yea I have been looking at plywood tank designs all day.... ooo the possibilities... but I think I'd still stick with FW over SW, as much as I love SW there is too much required, and I like the large schools...

I've been trying to think of what I'd do with a 300+ gallon tank lol

Like I said, I am a bad influcence lol

If you do buy or build a tank have to start a build thread on here! It would be awesome to see

I would, I have seen threads for tanks, one where I guy built his house around it. I'd really only want a max size of something that was moveable, aka could fit through a door way.

Brihno has a 300g freshwater that I have been following as he comes along with it

Slight set back on the build.... I need to re-run my electrical for the fish tank room to another pole on the property. The 200amp main breaker tripped the other night. Once I started adding up the fridge, washer/dryer, hot water heater etc etc etc... all of that running at once with normal wall outlets being used trips the breaker. So, I need to re-run the wire from my junction box to the other pole.

On the bright side.... I got to test my sump in a power out situation lol. Works well with the draining water. I am going to drill one of the return lines to break siphon sooner.
