My tank is leaking so now a new one is needed. Luckily a friend gave me a temp tank to house my corals until the new one is up and running.

I have a 120- 24x24x48. So my new one will be same foot print because of stand. I have 3 choices. 120 with one overflow exact one i have. 2 overflows or a 150 same foot print. 24"x48", just 30" in deep instead of 24". The 2 overflows is cheaper than the single but is the amount of water exiting at power loss the same in single, double and 150. All have same foot print. Do not want sump to overflow at power loss.

Can a stand solid wood cabinet. Hold a extra weight of a 150?
 
Stands if bought for an aquarium can withstand the extra weight. They are usually overbuilt anyways.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
