New Tank Location

I have found the perfect spot for my new tank in the living room. I am moving the entertainment center and putting the tank in its place in the wall recess. It will allow me to fit a 4 foot by 2 foot tank, stand and canopy.

Amazing Reef Video

In an ideal world, this is what I would like my new tank to look like. I love colorful SPS colonies, and lots of active fish.

Out of Hobby, Then Back In

In the fall of 2010, I sold my 150g reef tank. I sat out for awhile due to work travel and other things. But, you can't stay out of this hobby very long!
I am in the process of putting together a new tank. I am excited about this one as I am going to use LED lighting. It will cut my electricity bill down, not add heat to my tanks water, and I won't have to replace lightbulbs anymore. LED's have about 50,000+ hour lifespan.

My new tank is going to be custom built, 4x2x2. It will be 120 gallons. It will fit into an alcove in our dens wall where our entertainment center goes. It will look great pushed back into the wall recess. It will have black silicone, eurobracing, and one center overflow.

I should have things up and running within the next 2 months or so. Will be updating with pictures and the building of it as I go along.  Yay!
