    AIGH! This hobby has been so up and down for me, I can't believe I'm actually doing this! Just 3 months ago I wanted to get out of the hobby and almost sold my tank for $500. Now I have invested $700 into it again, and all that only to buy a bigger tank 2 months later! Eep!

    72 Gallon Bow Front Fish Saltwater Fishtank

    It's a good deal though and I couldn't pass it up. They don't list a lot of things, but it has a UV Sterilizer, wet/dry filter (prolly gonna sell that off though), refugium (dead but fixable), built in overflow, return pump, skimmer...the list goes on.

    I'm even going to manage a store credit because he has 2 Chocolate Chip Stars, and we all know those eat corals. All my stuff from my 46 is going into this new one. Corals, fish, everything.

    I'm debating on how much of his water i want to keep. All the water from my old tank is going in there...now I'm just thinking aloud. Anyways I'm excited! It's not the 125 I wanted but hey, I'll deal. Cool thing is I know I can still use my MH fixture over this tank and be fine.

    !!! SUSHI !!!

    Holy cow! If you google “46 gallon” and go to the images link, the thumbnail on the top right of the first page is MY TANK! I saw it and was like “hmm this looks familiar.” When I clicked it, sure enough it leads to a link that goes to a posting of mine on 3reef.com. Haha that’s cool!!
