    It's a used tank but I am happy. ;D
    I plan on putting it in the wall as I have a closet on the opposite side that I am not using and I plan on putting the sump and chiller in the cellar, This is going to be my winter project as I still have to finish painting my house before I get sidetracked and start setting up the 150 :p ;D ;) John

    Thank You ;D

    I was just worried that the tank is 72" long and my light is 48" so I will have a one foot area on each end that the light won't be over. :-/ The tank is also 6" deeper but I don't think that will be a problem. :p John

    Congrats!! Hope you have more luck setting up your tank than I've had with the 210...every time we plan to switch it over, something happens. Right now by B/F has a broken wrist...he did that two weeks ago. Hopefully the cast will be off in a few more weeks, but without him, I'm sitting here waiting.... :(
