After selling off all my equipment about 15 years ago, I'm now at a point in my life where I want to jump back into the hobby.
There was a distributor warehouse near me that went out of business and I was able to pick up a tank from them. It's a marineland 150 reef ready. (48"x24"x30") I had my mind set on a 180 or something at least 6' long, but the 150 was one of the largest tanks they had left and the price was too good to be true. I do really like the added depth of the tank.
I'm at the point where its time to pull the trigger and get a stand made for the 150 and commit to it, but I'm still on the fence of trying to find a 6' tank. Always wanted a blue power tang or Naso and this would the driving factor for a 6' tank.
On the other hand I could get the 150 going to see if this is something I'll still enjoy with out going "all in" right way. I could upsize down the road.
Looking for some feedback/stories if anyone else went down this decision path before and what they ended up doing. Thanks in advance!
