Well just pulled the trigger on my new tank!

Miracles Aquarium 135g
36x36x24 Rimless
External Overflow
Black Silicone
Starfire Glass on 3 sides
Beveled Edges

Modern Stand
Custom Maple
34" tall (that is as tall as I could get it considering the door size)
Euro-white Color

I am going to hang a couple led pendants over the tank.

The last tank I did was done for the BIG, WOW factor, but this one is for me to enjoy! I think I am going to do two pillar structures and then add my two pair of picassos with several different colored BTA's and a few select LPS on the sand. :)

Any ideas or comments to make this better?

Very nice. I can't wait to see pictures and how the build progresses. What dimensions did you chose for the tank?

LImited space means the best of the best corals only .. no room for boo boo average corals.. pick the best corals that you love most. Take your time with the two pillars.. It look me and annette 2-3 weeks to think of and make the rock work in our tank. Goodluck and im excited for you.. i know the great feeling of a new tank :bigsmile:

Sounds awesome Rev. I love my Miracles Rimless. Really like the dimensions. Have you thought about what type of LED pendants you will hang over it?

That tank sounds hot! What are you planning to use for flow? Two mp40's or one mp60?

Thanks gang! I am thinking of using all of my existing 4 mp40 pumps. I know its a lot, but I was think about putting them all on the very back glass so nothing is on the side and then turning them all down on low or something like that. Also I already own one AI LED Blue so I was thinking about just using that and adding another. Not too sure yet. I own an ATB External cone skimmer so I am probably going to use that as well.

I would use all of the equipment you already have. With 4 mp40s you will be able to create some unique flow in your tank. What ar ethe dimension of your tank? I didn't see them in the OP.

Sounds like a good plan...plus i love the AI LED systems - I would love to go this route eventually.

Sweet tank! I actually put my order in for the same tank from miracles minus the external overflow about a month ago. An upgrade from a 75. Love the dimensions and size without all the electricity of traditional 150. And Rev it's actually a 135g I believe. I'm excited for the both of us:)
