QUESTION... what to do??? need ideas!

[motortrendz]

so most of you know my recent dilema, but thats besides the point.. ive decided not to sell everything.. i want to set up a smaller SPS dominant tank (i just cant walk away) but not sure what to get.. i want to keep it below 90g but heres the thing.. i dont want a tank that is narrow.. i hate the wall of rock look..
i want a deep(front to back) tank... and im gonna use a 40g breeder as a suom/fuge.. i will use the skimmer from my 220g setup so im sure ill never have a problem with that.. but what tank should i go with... throw me ideas and if you have something you wanna get rid of.. i MIGHT be interested...
Also im not sure what type of lighting to use... if i should go MH or t5s... throw me some combo ideas...


ready..... GO!..lol:iamwithst

I LOVE the Marineland 45g cubes!

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

72 bow and I happen to have one for sale

 

[motortrendz]

no cubes... standard type r/r tanks.. i have all the stuff i need to do my sump/fuge i dont care for all the internal stuff the cubes offer.. do they have ones where u dont have to use their stuff? and i def wanna go bigger than 45.. im downgrading from a 220g with a 350g total water volume system.. id feel like i was looking into a 10g with a goldfish..lol

the marineland is rr i like the 60 better 2x2x2 i am biased on lights so t5's

 

[motortrendz]

thats not a bad idea noob, i would have to build a stand tho bc i wanna use my 40g custom king sump.. and my existing skimmer.. but ill have to go taller on the stand to fit it..
would it look stupid if i have a cube on a 4ft wide stand? maybe i can put shelves on either side... just thinking outloud.. or typing it rather

 

[motortrendz]

trigg i knew you were gonna jump in.. lol whats the deal with that tank? rr? was it used for FW or SW? chemicals ever used in it?

 

[motortrendz]

i kinda like the 93g cube.. 30x30x24

bookshelves on the sides of a cube would be cool, but limit the viewing potential from the sides.

very true...

 

[NYreefNoob]

i had a 50g breeder on a 120g stand

I agree w/ Dhaut..shelves not only limit cabinet space but I think they look cheesy as hell. Especially for serious hobbyists like us who can NEVER have enough cabinet space lol. If you are an old man with a tank of tetras and you want to display books on it in your "study" that's fine but not for reef man especially with all the chemicals and food that would be on display..it's just not a good look.

The tank is in fact RR never even been wet there was a box turtle in it lol. Believe me I couldn't believe it either. I also have lighting for it 8 bulb t5 I'm sure is what you want to go with if you are thinking SPS dominant.

 

[motortrendz]

what are u asking for it? and u got any pics? you can send them to my phone if you want.. mms them..

 

[E.intheC]

In your case, I agree with the 93 cube idea.. Unless you want something custom from glasscages or similar there's not much out there really.

 

[TRIGGERMAN]

There is some partial views in my sale thread..however the tank is currently storage for lots of crap lol Chemicals, light, skimmer etc.as you will notice. I can take a better pic if you want but the glass is pretty much mint.

I like the 65gallon RR that I bought, It is 36"l x 18"w, not the widest tank but not skinny like a 55 and with it only being 3 feet long the 18"w looks great with it. It is 24"s tall though and some people don't like the depth of it.
