Oops, didn't see there was a second page. 50lbs huh? I hope it works for you.

I agree, go for wood. I don't know if this is up to code, but I cut a 2x4 to fit between the rafters in my garage and hung a 50lb punching bag from it. It shakes the house like mad, but everything is holding well. You may be able to do something similar if you have some attic space to work with.

Take a look at the tanks GrndHog and I have installed(http://www.aquariumadvice.com/viewtopic.php?t=8667). It might help you visualize what you are thinking about. I can't help you with the filters as I am still very new to this. 72"? That seems a little high. The top of my 55gal is about 56"...

We do like the area. It is getting more crowded every day. We must be too picky about what goes in the tank because we are having a difficult time finding anything. I've been in that general area before. I spent some time in Niceville and Fort Walton. Pretty beaches, but it didn't look like...

Thanks. We had to build a new wall to make the tank fit. We are in scenic New Port Richey. Where is Defunialk Springs? Can't say I've ever heard of it.

The finished product looks fantastic. You were probably the main inspiration for my setup. I just got my 55 up and running. I still have a lot to add to the room and the tank. What do you think?
