Huge Sale, Finally upgrading!

About two weeks ago, I found out that the LFS by my office was having a huge sale. I currently have a 46 gallon bow that I got along with a stand for $50.00 on Craigslist. There are a ton of scratches on the glass, the silacone is chipping off on the inside, and there is no overflow built in, so I have to use an ugly overflow box. Ive been wanting to upgrade forever, but wife said that I cant go any bigger than 36" becasue of lack of exra space in our living room to fit a 48" tank. So after looking around, I discovered that 65 gall tanks are 36" wide 24" high and 19" deep. This is alot of extra space plus an exra 20 gallons of water! So I called my LFS and found out they were having a sale on all Oceanic tanks. HALF OFF! I quickly purchased a new light fixture to replace my 36" USA Orbit with stronger lighting for the new tank I would get, and I replaced it with a USA Nova Extreme 6 bulb T5 HO lighting system. I ordered my new 65 gall tank last tue that is Reef Ready, got the Versatop, Background, Overflow Kit, and New Stand, and all i paid was 465.00 total! This is a huge discount, not to mention I was able to sell my old light plus an unused fuge and a laptop and make almost enough to cover my upgrade! Now I just have to be patient and wait till the tank comes in on tuesday! I cant wait!

 

I can feel the excitement. Congratulations;D

 

Awesome!!!!

 

ya, that's the dimensions of one of the tanks my stand is going to have eventually, very nice amount of space for the water volume.

 

Congrats on the new tank, can't wait for the new build thread.

 

I had a 65 that I kick myself for selling all the time.

 

3'x2' sounds like a really nice size, lot of aquascaping options there!
