Hi from North Atlanta

Welcome to R2R!!! My favorite store is Nemo in Duluth, they have the same livestock as pure reef but a lot cheaper I drive all the way from east Alabama there just to do my shopping.

@hobbyreefer - I meant to post this yesterday but, well, I forgot. Fortunately, I remembered it this morning.

Amongst some of the Atlanta area members here is @ATL REEF . He belongs to the Atlanta Reef Club and his most build thread can be found in the link below. Just thought you might like to know in case you're looking to connect with some like-minded locals.

Thank you so much everyone for the warm welcome! I will be sure to start a build thread as soon as I can decide what direction I'm heading. Yesterday, I requested a few additional quotes from Planet Aquarium for something a bit larger (150-180ish gallon display)

Here are the 3 sizes I'm now considering from Planet Aquarium:

  • option 1 (in stock at LFS)
  • 60L x 24w x 21h
  • Crystaline high clarity glass
  • external overflow
  • Trigger system sump. I don't really know much about their sumps but the LFS folks were saying it was a bit nicer than the red sea sumps

  • option 2 (need to order from Planet Aquarium)
  • 72L x 24w x 21h
  • same options as above but 1 foot longer

  • Option 3 (I believe it's a custom size)
  • 60l x 30w x 24h
  • Internal center overflow (I'm thinking the wider width would need to be a bit closer to the back wall)
  • Crystaline high clarity glass

Thoughts on these? I really enjoy the wider (30+ inch depth) tanks, but I think option 2 might be the best choice for me. It fits nicely in the room, extra foot of length for larger fish, maybe easier to light than a 30 inch deep?
