Want to upgrade my tank...Need help on size

I took a new approach and tried convincing her on the 180 so that she eventually agreed on the 120. Worked like a charm. Lol. So now I will be looking for a 120.

Another question I have is about the bottom pane of glass. Is that tempered on most tanks? If I drill the bottom for the drain and return where do I get the "overflow cover"? Thanks for the help do far everybody

 

That's a lot of help. Thank you very much.

 

Outstanding!

The bottom on most 120s is not tempered. As for finding the overflow itself, there are a number of places you can find one online. However, I'd look long and hard for a used reef-ready tank so you don't have to risk it.

Additionally, look for an Oceanic Tech 120 - I have one sitting in my garage and it is a great tank (mid-tank overflow).

 

Thanks. I have been look for the overflow cover and ant seem to find them online. I am trying to find a reef ready tank but just preparing myself if I found a good deal on a non reef ready tank. And thanks for the suggestion of the oceanic tank

"You could also throw in that the 120 will have better resale value, but that's stretching it a bit... "


i actually use this excuse quite often when getting new equipment..."but dear when (say when not if...trust me it helps) i sell the tank this will make it more valuable!!!" he thinks ill be selling the 120 when i upgrade again...little does he know i plan on keeping it and setting up either another saltwater (FOWLR maybe?) or a feshwater cichlid tank muahahaha

 

Hahahaha that's pretty funny and I like the evil laugh u added. Lol

 

See how bad i am and i get away with it and we arnt even married!!! You should have no problems, just take a leaf out of my book and your on your way to that nice big tank YOU want haha...this maaaay work better for me since i am the woman and being the woman i get what i want hahaha...but i highly doubt she is going to divorce you over a fish tank lol.and ill still trade you...there your search is over lol!!! your happy, shes happy, and im happy hahahahaha!!!

 

buy her a bag or a new pair of shoes and get the 120
