I'm ready for another tank (I have six now, 1 5g, 1 20g, 1 29g, 1 55g, 2 75g), thinking about a 180 gallon or maybe even a bigger custom tank. I could do the 180g in the family room easily, would have to get an engineer in to check out the floor supports if I put it in the in the living room. Family room is the most likely spot
I figure if I do a 180g or larger I will need four API NEXX canisters (two main each with an extension system). I'll go with NEXX unless someone has a reason not to, I already have 6 of them, in pairs, and I trust them. I also think I would need at least two power heads to keep the water moving. Not sure what I would need heater wise.
Obviously a boat load of plants, DW and decorations. Possibly hand built coves/caves.
I'm thinking I would like a full setup with LED moon lights, programmable controller to control everything. Would I need an sump? I'm only interested in doing a large FW setup. SW is not in my future. This tank would take some of the larger (2'-3' fish) at the LFS.
All feedback/help/stories welcome.
