I have their 75INT model and love it. Had to go with the 75 because the only place to put it matched perfectly with the dimensions.

There is a guy locally selling a brand new one with stand here in NE Ohio that is still in the crate. If I had the space, I would love that tank.

150g lagoon here too.

I wanted the depth as well, as i transitioned from a cube.
I didn't have thoughts of having many large tangs, so i didn't need the long tank which tangs prefer.

The wider tank tho, will require xr30's over xr15's tho, or a light orientated so you can cover a 4x3 foot wide tank, so plan light possition in accordance.

I am hoping to use my 3 Current USA R24s. I have 2 54w and 1 95W. Plan is to get 2 current LED blades 48" to go on the front and the back of the set. Should be plenty of coverage as my current 60 gallon tank I can barely turn up the lights and my PAR is right up there in the 300 range (top of the rock).
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
