    Well guys it has finally come time to replace my Red sea max. I was excited this week when I ordered my new halide system for the RSM and am scheduled to get it monday. When I got home last night around 3 in the morning from work I was puting some coral frenzy in the tank and noticed a small crack in the back right corner of the tank. So guess what upgrade time. This tank is the living room and really dont want to go to big as I have alot of company by the house. I have another tank that I transfered all my fish over to last night and most of the snails I could wrangle up. I am thinking maybe a 75 would be perfect.

    If I were to do it again it would be a 90 in 48" long.

    Well fellows I figured it out. I was at the lfs this morning and found a 75gal aqueon with overflow and stand. Everthing I already have on the Red sea tank will transfer over perfectly. I have a aquacontroller jr with 2 dc-8s , temp and ph probes, 1 vortec mp10 that I ordered the other day, 1 lumen max elite 250w pendant, 1 galaxy 250w balast, 14k sps de bulb ordered the other day for the Max, tlf reactor, prime chiller, AAT denitrate coil and 40 pounds of rock. This tank is going to be right from the get go.

    Sounds like a well thought out plan. BTW, you know that the AC-JR can only control 12 outlets........right?
