My wife and I will be moving soon and I was able to get approval for a large tank :)

I wanted to pick everyone's brain.

I really have my heart set on a peninsula tank. The new home will be going under some major remodeling and my plan is to use the tank as a room divider.

I am thinking of either a 300 or 500 gallon tank. Leaning towards an SPS dominated tank. I prefer glass over acrylic.

Currently I have a 120g SPS tank with a 40 breeder frag tank plumbed in, and a 40 b sump.

I also have a 75g BTA tank with a 40b sump.

With the new build I would move over the 120 SPS to the new 300 or 500

And the 120 would become the nem tank and possibly a clown harem.

So any advice size wise? Best place to get a large tank? Anything else I am missing?

AWESOME!! Please definitely do a build thread with that one! I'm planning something similar (but it's all in my head at present until we buy a house). I'm planning something like a 400g that will be 8' long x 4' wide x 20" tall (although I'm thinking I might boost the height to 2').
