Yahooo for you!!! :)

[ReeferMike]

NICE! Congrats, what are some of your plans for it? What are the tank's dimensions?

[Dmmz]

The dimensions are 48x24x30 I will be drilling tank and putting sump in basement. It will be a mixed reef and making sure rock is pest free on this one
I am going to take my time and buy nice lights and pumps plus a apex also talk to people on here before doing anything

It's on now!

Figured you would like seeing this ;)

[creefer]

Very nice!! You're going to like having the Apex and you'll like even more having your sump in the basement.

I am looking forward to seeing this one get filled.

Well I am up to 100lbs of LR 160 if I take down my 55g I have the rock cooking hope that is the best thing to do any advise would be helpful

[MizTanks]

What kind of rock?

[Dmmz]

I have changed my mind and will buy a new tank for this build looking at a 180g. The 150g has tempered glass on bottom and I don't want anything on the back of the tank. I need to makeup my mind and get it ordered in early march :stupidme:

[MizTanks]

What's wrong with tempered on the bottom? You planning on drilling it?

[FlynnFish]

You can always have an overflow box in there and instead of drilling the bottom just drill the holes low on the back.
