    Ok so I've been wanting to do a fowlr for sometime now. The other day I started thinking about trading my 65g reef for a larger tank. I got an offer for 210g tank, stand, and lids. Idk if this a good deal or not considering how much I have invested in my reef. The 210's dimensions are 7'x2'x2'. Just don't know what I want to do.

    If you have to completely out fit the 210 then I would say no.

    I would say go for it! I love fowlrs ! You don't really have much coral/ lr so you wouldn't be losing much $$ , but its my dream to have a 210 gal tank ! Just my 2 cents

    450 sounds like a bargain

    the 65 looks great
    but a 210 - awesome

    tanks you have to climb in to set up, are great IMO
