    I have a 110 tall reef ready that is set up with fresh water. I'm looking to sell it because its just too big for the room. If I had the money to light it properly (30 inches deep and 4' wide) I'd make the effort to move it to another room because it would make a FANTASTIC reef because its and older Oceanic with starfire glass. Was your 110 a reef.

    Yeah, i definitely second the thought that you need to be able to reach the bottom of the tank relatively easily

    If you have the money... bigger is better! ;D But in all seriousness, choose a size that would allow for easy maintenance. Check out those sizes in person at a friends house, LFS, etc, and see which would be a nice balance for you personally. IMO a 150 is huge yet still accessible.

    I vote for the 210. Its a good size for keeping large angelfish.

    I think it's going to be a 180 fits in the space better and easier to move if needed sad thing is I sold my 300 about 5 yrs ago when we thought we was selling the house then as soon as it sold we more like she wanted to keep the house should have stayed in hobby all I know my lil 1" angles are growing out of there tank fast

    Nice Juvi French, I have one as well. Well actually I think he is a French/gray hybrid but, non the less a great little fish. He's really small, I don't think he is over 1.5 inches
