Actually, the hard part was/is the depth. Getting into a 29" deep tank makes for a wet armpit at times. Wish my tank was deeper front to back and shallower top to bottom, but hey, got it for "free" as well as the equipment. Equipment has been changed since though. Was ALOT easier when i had a paycheck coming in as well. Salt gets expensive when a 10% wc equals to 25g 2x a month. Plus my wifes tank and a hospital tank now.
 
For reall. And getting it for free. Man oh man.
Not working sucks. I hope something gets going for ya, sh&$ it's opposite with us. My wife hasn't been working and it's been catching up to me hard this last month.
I think I have 2 water changes left of salt :/ I'll have to stretch it out.
Having the width over 12 over 20 or more would be awesome for stacking rocks.
 
I used to maintenance a 250 for our LFS and talk about wet armpits! It was in the wall too so everything had to be done from the back. It was beautiful but not fun to take care of.
 
I like the new aquascape better than the old. The variety of fish is just like my old 210. Great also IMO.

I can vouch for the 29" deep tank being a PITA. I would not recommend a standard 150 to anyone 72x18x29 is horrible for a reef tank. If you want 72 long and 29 tall you better just get 24 deep and go 210/215.
 
Yes the wet armpit has been a concern of mine and would be nice to see free on the sticker hahaha. But im looking for a 24' deep and make up the difference in the width and a little in the length. Ive seen some 150 and a just saw a 400 that was 32" deep but was square and the layers and rows of rock work just was amazing! I have all the equipment because i bought +1 on everything i'll just need to change out my lighting (looking into LED's.
 
Very Nice Tank pandora32! The colors are awesome, do you have to run a chiller with the MH's? Once I upgrade my lighting I'd like to get an RBTA.
 
Chiller! Ha! 1g frozen milk jugs in the summer. Just put them in the sump. If the temp gets to high, i just turn them off. I do need a chiller though. Just too spendy for me at the moment. I also dont use heaters in my system. Only time i jave is during setup and when i mix fresh saltwater. I store my topoff water outside and use a small eheim pump to pump the water from the bucket into the filter sock.
 
Thanks everybody for the coments. Just wanted to share with you my jawfish. Its impossible to get a shot of him while hes out. The first pic is his burrow. 2nd pic is all i ever see unless its feeding time, then hes like a bullet in and out real fast. 3rd pic is my nepthia. Cut a stalk off a couple days ago.
 
No, wouldnt say photo sensitive, just crappy phone picture sensitive. Only had the actinics on and also dont have internet here to post from my dslr.
 
Looks amazing buddy. That Rbta is ginormous I could only imagine it in person.
How long has it been setup for?
