    Awesome, does your husband work there? Can he get a small discount for 3Reef members?

    My hubby does not work there. We are both in the medical field. SW is just our hobby/obsession/money pit. Ty is so reasonable on his tank prices that you don't need a discount to buy a tank from him. He has the best prices in the business.

    That is a gorgeous tank. What other hardware are you getting for it?

    We have a hanging 300 watts MH light, two koralia ph's, a large sump,and a skimmer. All of the hardward will be in the sump including the heater. The power head cords will run thur pvc pipes on the inside of the tank. Because this is a 360 tank we did not want any cords sticking out of the tank. All electric work will be under the tank. luckly we are on a crawl space so it can be wired under the tank. The light will hook into a current light that is on the ceiling.

    That will be really nice without cords hanging around it. What brand of light and skimmer?

    I noticed that. .. For me I would only really need a front. I hear that glass is expensive. I can't get behind my tank and sides aren't much. I modified my cabinet and built some small windows on the sides:

    Nice tank. It looks great. We have a large room that is dedicated to aquariums. So we needed something in the center that is why we went for the 360.

    I am ready to get it up and running but we needed two more hole drilled into it because my hubby forgot about the power head. Should be ready by Wed.
    =jwin=, where in tn are you. We are only a little over an hour from tn/al line. We went to the Nashville Frag swap last weekend and picked up some great bargins.
