Well, I don't want to sidetrack this thread too much, but since you asked: I bought a 120 glass with 2 drilled overflows around last February. Came with nice wood stand and a glass aquarium for a sump (which I don't need, it's around 35g I think). My current 55 is packed full of corals and fish. Dang keeps offering me corals and I keep having to turn him down
Sump plumbing I'm pretty proud of (assuming it works). Return pump has a tee which directs water through a ball valve. This ball valve is normally closed, but for water changes it's open. Beyond this ball valve is a union. I can attach a long hose to that union and pump water directly from the sump into a drain or other tank for water changes. I can then detach the union, close the ball valve and attach the same union to overflow plumbing, and the other end to my newly mixed saltwater can, and pump water directly into the sump. No more buckets
I'm using the same sump, skimmer and lights that are on my 55, which are all overpowered/oversized for a 55. I am upgrading the MH reflectors from Reef Optix to Lumen Brites, though. I already built a canopy for these lights.
Like I said, I just need to drill the rocks I got and setup columns using acrylic rod. I think I've got too much rock, will maybe need to sell some zoanthid infested rock.
you'll be soon up any running,,,cheer!!!!!
keep me post it

Go with a 360 Dang, the extra 6 inches of width would be really nice for you.

It was just a thought. Are you going to have the tank built by Bull Valley in Calgary? I have not heard how he is doing these days????

tank built by marineland 72x36x28 front starfire 300gals,don't know anything about Bull Valley in Calgary?,,maybe i check them out.
Actually Dang, it is Bow Valley in Calgary. Ever remember hearing anything about a guy by the name of Mitch? I am sure if you do a search on RC, you can get all the info you ever needed. He treated me well, but there will be some dissenting opinions.

He's the one who pretty much screwed Brett(BCT182) over.
I wouldn't take a chance with him Dang.
