New separate system going up. 32x32x12 Advanced Acrylics up and running. Let the ugly stage begin. It will be a shroom and soft tank. 4x4x12 is also up running. One more 4x4 to setup. All 3 tanks are sharing one sump. I just setup the Clearwater scrubber today. I really like it.

Glad to see that 245 GLA is still up and running man!
It’s built like a tank. Are you the one I bought it from? Any idea how old it is? You know how it is. Now I want a 8ft tank after having this for some years.
 
I have a 90 right now. Was thinking on getting the innovative marine 200 given its quite a big bigger and it’s the biggest tank you can get for the price by FAR. But I think only an 8’ tank will have the impact I’m really looking for. I’m also concerned about jumping to such a big tank. Was it more work and than you thought?

Not really other than cleaning more glass. Now adding another tank on a separate sump is a lot more work...double. But just going to a bigger tank you really won’t notice it. It’s definitely more expensive to run though. I wish I had went with a 8ft tank from my 6ft 125. Going from a 90 to 200 is nice though. Check out glass cages whatever you do. They make great tanks. I should have my 72x24x16 glass tank from them soon. It’s replacing my 72x24x12 advanced acrylic tank that has failing seems.

This will be my 2nd tank from you guys. And it’s been a pleasure working with you. I will definitely post up some pictures of the new one.
 
And in with the new! Man is this tank from Glass Cages nice! @Joe Glass Cages thank you for the fine workmanship. Seams are perfect. I love the euro brace and black silicone. This will be my style of tank going forward. It’s a 72x24x16 and will be a SPS grow out tank. The extra height will be nice over the previous tank. Joe was really helpful in the design of the build. I went with his suggestion of the shadow overflow box. Saved a lot of cash over a glass overflow. And I like it has a cover on it. My old open top overflow had bad salt creep. Stand is done and level. Plumbing will be done this week.
