Ok... Figured I might as well start this up now.
Here's the story:
About 6 months ago I started up my 90g reef. Things have been going great thus far. Here's a picture:
Here's the original thread link:
Starting 90g Reef Tank Build... Finally!!!
Anyway, the other day I saw an add on Craigslist listing an undrilled 220g tank and stand for $600.
So I went after work "just to look" then came back to my house, and convinced myself that it wasn't for me. Eventually I talked myself into at least throwing in an offer. So I threw in a low ball offer of $300.00 (just so he would turn it down, and I could say "well I tried"). To my surprise the guy happened to be leaving for college in a few days, needed to get rid of the tank, and accepted my offer... I couldn't believe it!!!
So now I am the proud owner of a 220g (72" x 24" x 30") tank & stand:
Like I said, I was perfectly happy with my 90g tank, and wasn't planning on this upgrade. So you'll have to have some patience with me, as this build will probably move much slower than my last one.
Right now the tentative date for getting water in this bad boy is March 2009. (We'll see if that date gets bumped up though
).
