Welcome to my new adventure. This might be like the 12th tank so far, but 2.0 sounds better...

As many of you know, I bought Binford's setup last month. I filled up the back of my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and made another trip with a U-haul to pick up the rest. Lets just say that it was a bigger project than I had imagined and my garage was packed to the brim. I finally went through all of the boxes and sorted into three piles... Keep, Toss and Sell. So much stuff. Everything from full buckets of salt, to 5 gallon buckets of two part solution, to 1/4 full bottles of additives... It took a while to sort through all of it. I have listed a couple of the random things for sale, nothing too exciting yet.

Anyway, back to the business at hand. The tank I picked up was 48x36x22 which is huge. A lot bigger than I had imagined when I decided to purchase the setup. The tank is going downstairs in my theatre room, and the room isn't very wide. When my wife saw the tank, she asked me if I had measured and then asked if I was insane... She happened to be right. I did not measure and apparently...I am insane. She ended up vetoing that tank and sending me back to the drawing board.

My last tank was a 50 Gallon Cadlights Artisan II. I still have that tank in my garage. I thought that when we moved in June, that I would just set that up again. Well, it has been 6+ months and all of my stuff is still in a 100 gallon rubbermaid feeding trough. Now, before you post about the large custom tank that blew out... I know. I read that too. This tank isn't that large, or custom built. Back to business. The Artisan series is absolutely amazing and well priced. I had my eye on the 150 gallon for a while now, and they recently added the option to just purchase the tank and stand. I did not need the sump, skimmer or any of that other stock nonsense. So, that's what I went with, the 150 eurobraced with a piano black finish(fingerprint nightmare).
