    What about your sump Mike? Will that be under the tank? My initial suggestion would be to consider having that in the basement. Wish I would have done that (and still might), IMO it will give you more freedom in design and ease of access.
    I simply can't trust people that don't like bacon,

    Because of where the tank has to go doing a basement sump would be nearly impossible.

    or if you wanted something really pretty you could sell them off and just get some AI units, but after all the burned fingertips and other time /money invested in building what you've got I doubt that would be an option.

    I might actually have a couple units that I sell. I have contemplated selling the big tank too. If it is here and I have to see it empty I might get depressed (even more than I already am).

    I have decided on a 4*24*22 rimless from Great Lakes Aquariums. The large tank is already sold. The new owner and I are coordinating a date for pick up as he has to get his ready to transfer as well. The new tank will be located on the first floor in the kitchen. I am going to take the aluminim lighting rack I am building to an acrylic guy I have used in the past to have a professional skin job done with a splash guard and fan holes drilled out.. Chuck (the guy I got a lot of cool chalices from) said he would help me with the arms to suspend the light rack from. The tank will cost less and I will enjoy it more and I hope my family will too.
