    I am going to pick up a 150 with stand and some other junk with it. He's also giving me a hex tank (I think a 50-60 gal) and a 30 gal and a bunch of other stuff. The big tank is 10 years old but had fish in it until a few days ago. I will reseal it anyway but all for $100 - heck i'll sell the hex back on craigs list for at least $40. Ok i'm rambling but i'm so stoked.



    And yes, I will post pics of what I got when I get it all home.

    It didn't take me but 6 months to realize my 46bow wasn't enough. I am more confident in my reef keeping now too though. At first I didn't know if I was going to be able to do it or like the work involved but I really do. I like building and tinkering more than the finished product alot of times so this will be something to work on. I figure my other tank will probably be a year old by the time I have all the equipment and stuff ready to go on the big one. Then I will use my live rock (75lbs) and sand and add it to some base rock and sand to get the new tank going.
