Hi Guys,
I had to exit the hobby when the Air Force moved me to England in 2012. Fast forward 9 years later and another tour to Northern Japan, our family is back. One of the big things my wife and I were excited about is getting the aquarium started again. I knew I wanted to go bigger this time, at least 150, but maybe 180 or larger if budget allows. I know it would have taken some time because buying a house and two cars took a huge toll on our finances, but I came across a unique tank that I knew I couldn’t pass up. It’s a standard 180 BUT with a center overflow. I had always eyed a peninsula style tank before, but this would be taking it to another level as a room divider…. And it was only $500 tank, stand and skimmer to boot (it came with a 72” six-row T5s) also, but I think I’ll go with a different lighting option. With all that comes some challenges though such as restoration, and more importantly equipment placement and aesthetics. This will be the divider between the front living room and the formal dining room.
So off we go
