[Swede Reef]

Did someone mention a LRO sale? It can now commence as I am here...

 

[Swede Reef]

Bring on the gonioporas....

 

[waterboys]

I have specific vendors I like and enjoy their livesales. I enjoy hanging out and it's good free exposure/advertising for the best vendors on Reef2Reef!

Yea LRO is one of my favorite (if not favorite) vendors I’ve purchased from on R2R. Which is why I’m always drawn to the live sales.

So I’m going to start saving up for a true display tank to replace my 40 breeder with all hang on equipment. I’m thinking a 4 foot (max 5 ft) tank. A bit concerned since it is on my second floor which is why I’m leaning toward 4 ft. It would be a mixed reef. Anyone rocking a nice display tank that size? What’s your favorite brand?

Extra tall.

Extra tall.

I'm at a Water Conference right now. I've been attending safety class this morning... I should submit this picture for consideration...

 

[waterboys]

Extra tall.

Very nice. I’m pretty tall, but I was planning on avoiding an extra tall tank. To make maintenance easier lol.

Go for a 90, 120, or 180 then?

Agreed! My next one will be much shorter. I got this one for $300 and couldn't turn it down lol
I'd love to replace it with a 180-220 6' tank.

 

[OrchidMiss]

I'd love a 24x24x72 tank 180g on a much shorter stand lol

They have a 48" 180 as well I believe...

Edit: I lied, it's a 5'.

They do, but I'd rather have a 72'' b/c the spot where I have the 110 now will easily house a 6' and I'll have much less trouble reaching the bottom of the tank without needing to call OSHA.

72 x 24 x 30 sounds good to me @ 215g

If I could afford it, this is what I really want.

Similar to a 125 but wider for more floor space for meats. Not a bad footprint and the 5' to the top of tank makes it easier to maintain.

 

[tbrown]

We did 31" on our 125 stand and it's easy to access the tank but the sump section is almost too short. I have to take the skimmer apart to remove it for maintenance.

You know I need room for all the cynarinas.

Nice? Bought used so there is some crazing in the acrylic and I don't maintain it enough, but this is my 5'x1x20". 100 gallon display volume.

Was just dreaming of this! It would fit right where I have the one above and be twice the volume.
