I had everything picked out...

[art13]

135g DSA 4 foot tank
reef octo regal 200 sss skimmer
kessil A360WE's
apex VDM
Vectra M1
Tunze Osmolator
and lastly a nice little fuge, probably a crystal sump 36 from BRS or build my own out of a 40b.

Then i get the news that we will be adding a fourth child to our family, time to start up that go fund me page, otherwise i don't see this tank happening, lol.

Well, theres a catch build into the new baby. We have been trying for a few months now, so it was an inevitability. The catch is, we are out of bedrooms in this house, i need to open one up. My office is going to be a bedroom now, that leaves my tank with no place to go, accept in the wall downstairs in the living room. The fish room will now be in the laundry room along with a now makeshift office. She agreed to let me do the in wall build and gave the ok on that tank, since the in wall build would be a pain to move the current tank, and you would still see the heater and skimmer, it's in the living room now, has to be presentable, and the 135g has an overflow. My saving grace is i'm getting a rather large solar array installed on my roof, with a rather large price tag, but it will pay for itself, and comes with a rather large tax return.

I was looking at that, but it came down to the footprint and i wanted to oversize the skimmer, there will be a heavy bioload in this one, the ATB might be a bit shy of the mark i was looking for. Also trying to leave as much space as i can in the skimmer area for additional rocks possibly, depending on what sump i go with.
