180G-240G I am now interested...

[Circa]

Well I have decided the starphire glass was a bad idea. So I am either gonna get a 180g or a 240g tank. What do you all think would be worth getting? I think a 240g would be nice panormaic reef view in my house. But thats still one more light and more sand... I was wondering what you guys think, and hopefully some 240g owners could post comments on what they did when they got this size of a tank. I need to look at everything lighting, is this really a good size to go with?

My dimensions would be: 8'x2'x2' for the 240.

I really like 220 gallon dimensions: 6 feet x 30" wide x 24" tall

I just got mine in Starphire.

Regards,
Kris

You'll be very happy with both.

Cost goes up a bit with the 240. (4)Halides, bigger chiller, skimmer. More Rock/sand. No 8ft VHO...But it would look awesome.

Then again, you were considering a 135, the 180 may be perfect.

BerlinMethod.com man that has to be a nice tank you have all starphire! I want starphire, but its really alot to spend... I am just wondernig if that extra money should be put towards a good skimmer.

Redneck Cowboy, your right there would be alot more costs involved. It would be just awesome to have that extra space. It really would be a challenge to get it filled up completely, but I would have something to look forward too. I have to agree with you that the 135g may be a bad idea.

naesco tangs are my favorite fish, that is a good reason why I want them to be stress free and happy!

Hope to see some big 240g tanks or even 180g ones...

Go for the large one which gives you the added length.
That way you get to keep tangs.
