    Tank is 21" tall, 18" deep and 48" long. So 75+/- gallons. Will T-5's be good enough for it?

    Not worried about having the tank together tomorrow. Also definitely shopping around.
    Thinking of using acrylic for the fuge and messing around with designs.

    I will check out the aquaC.

    thanks

    Welcome to 3reef.

    The last FW tank I had was full of spotted puffers. I know what you mean by some being mad at everyone....:)

    For 21" tall, T5 should be good enough unless you want to put in some hard corals. I don't think you would do that anyway, since you are keeping puffers. :)

    Thanks otty, we liked reading about your tank. The wife was trying to breed a certain strain of guppy and he destroyed most of them and ignored the others. (This is when we read up on them and learned the easy way after the fact)

    This is going to be a completely separate tank NO puffers in it. Don't know about hard corals yet, but always learning about what can and can't work with what we want.

    We are looking at the black and white clowns. She wants to breed some clowns while I am deployed. Keeps her busy and both of us less stressed so I am all for it.
