    my name is mike,
    I currently have a 30G bowfront tank with the items listed in my sig. I have been lurking in this form for the past year and finally decided to join. Many of the posts helped me set up my 30 gallon with much success! Thanks to all for the help. now i have a new tank and am needing much advice on what exactly or should i say how exactly i should set it up.

    The basic idea is to take my old tank and put it in the new 120G Corner tank. but i have to get all the equipment first. My first purchace was the tank which i had to build my own custom stand for. the stand alone is 35" high and roughly 36" deep. total height of the stand and tank is about 5'7". the tank has a built in overflow box in the back corner...oh i forgot to mention the tank is all glass.

    the next item i have in the purchace is the protien skimmer for this i chose a octopus ext ps 150 recirculating skimmer. as per the recomendations of my LFS. after that i will be getting the return pump, sump, and a new 36" 2x 150W metal halide for the front of the tank and reuse my current 24" 150w sunpod.

    if you or anybody out there has any comments concerns or anything that they think i should be doing differnt as far as my setup goes by o means i am completly up for suggestions. actulley i would most appreciate any sugestions fellow members have!
