    :thumb_up::grinthumbs: Well done! Your tank looks great!! A couple quick questions off the top of my head since you seem more than willing to answer them: what are you doing to combat evaporation, condensation, humidity etc. It looked like you have the tank in a finished basement? I was just curious to see what you do to keep storms from brewing with all that humidity! Assuming you pipe it outside?

    P.S. This is a cool thread and a great tank... just do us a favor and stick around a while... seems that anytime someone with a huge tank shows up here they stick around for a month and vanish;D

    My buddy and I moved my 150G from my garage into my house and we were dead after that. I swear that thing weighed like 300lbs dry! My legs, arms and back were sore for 3 days!

    Aside from my last post, that is one AWESOME tank! Needless to say, you must do very well in your life to be able to financially sustain that mini ocean. I would DIE if I saw my electric bill at $200, I can't even imagine $1000! Kudos to you for such a beautiful tank, and kudos to you for being a success story in hard times! Hard work does pay off. :)

    Thank you! The humidity stays around 35% in my house just about year round. No need to pipe it outside. The heat from the lights & chillers seem to keep up with it. I have to do manual top offs for all but one of my tanks. I had a bad experience with an auto top off on the 600 so I do them all manually every other day.
