    No question about it, drilled 125. I will never go with a HOB overflow, again. They're such a pain.

    Well then... don't stop at 24" :)

    The depth conveyed by 30" is wonderful, 36" astounding :) If you've never seen a 36" 300g tank see if you can find one somewhere. Amazing to look at.

    You might say, "It's only six feet long" - when you see it you immediately see the difference. If I can, my next tank will be this.

    That's the idea ;) I don't know if I have seen a 36" deep tank...that's almost as deep as my current tank is long!

    Picking the setup up tonight! Living room is already rearranged. Just have to move the 28 nano out of the living room and into the foyer temporarily. Hopefully I can just take out 15 gallons of water or to move it...

    I have the best wife...ever. Fact.

    Respectfully disagree, as I, in fact, have the best. But its good to know you found a close second! Check for scratches is all I can say. My used setup is riddled with them.

    I would say it is on, but although my name is Marshall, I have never practiced my arts...my money would be on you.

    And I couldn't see any when I looked the other night, but the tank does need a good cleaning. Either way, I am getting everything for $300. Doubt I could do much better than that!

    Thanks, in about two weeks you can start ordering fish for me and sending them to my house ;D

    Patience is the virtue that got me my old 180 for $90.... lack of patience got me a 50 breeder for $50...... Goodluck with the 125 and like Alex mentioned check it for scratches thoroughly!

    $90 for just the tank, or for an entire 180 setup?
