I would try 3 bags... If you like..
I've just breezed through this whole thread - what perseverance you and your family must have to go through 2 busted tanks. I've only had 1 leak on my, a 37 tall that was on a home-made stand just above floor level, I moved it about 1/4" when it was about 1/3 full. That was before I understood the pressure put on the tank seals. Lost about 10g to the carpet, upgraded to a 55.
Never have had the ambition to start up a marine tank, but I'm a big SCUBA diver, when I get somewhere I CAN at least (FW diving is just not worth it to me) and I have to say your setup is gorgeous, those are the kinds of beautiful scenes I remember seeing while diving off Bimini in the Bahamas. Someday, when I have enough time and $ I definitely plan to 'dive' into a reef tank...
Wow, lookin good!
Update....
I finally took the plunge and got the ballasts to upgrade my lighting. I got really lucky as a local reefer was upgrading their lighting and I was able to pick up 2 250w IceCap ballasts for an awesome price. They are the old style but only about a year old.
I've got to get busy on redesigning the canopy and lighting system on my tank now. I'm still trying to decide which bulbs to go with. I'm really leaning towards the 10,000K Reflux bulbs but I'm not sure. I'm using 10,000K Hamiltons right now and I'm very happy with them but I think I may like the Reflux better. The reflux I tried some time back were 15,000K I think and I didn't like those but they were used and I got them for free so it was worth the try. The current hamiltons have proven to give good growth to my SPS so like I said. Still not sure which way to go.
