    I just set up my 240gal tank, its 96x24x24 Acrylic w/ custom stand. I purchased the tank used, took me 2 weeks to buffed out all the scratches and dings. It was in pretty bad shape when I bought it, last owner had a saltwater tank and you know how dirty saltwater tank gets. In my tank I have a very nice looking 7" Jardini, 4 7-8" Bichirs, and 4 red severums, 2 phantom plecos or also call avocado plecos along with a bunch of Golden Apple snails. All LED lighting, I was thinking about the 2 36" T5s or Compact lights which runs about 150watt x 2 total of 300watts, now that I'm using LED lights it is only running 44wats for all 4 x 36" LED. Total investment around $1500. Very proud of this tank as this is my very 1st Monster tank. Just wanna share it with all the fish lovers out there.
