    Getting back in the hobby after 10 years, who makes a good tank/stand these days?

    Now that's very interesting as I kept all those fish and more (no corals) in a 70g tank and they did just fine. I typically got 2-3 years from each and they never really grew much. Why would this change so dramatically?

    Getting back in the hobby after 10 years, who makes a good tank/stand these days?

    Thanks for the info, this is a great start. Last time I did a tank, I followed the ideology of Steve from Aqua Oceans in Toms River. His thoughts at the time was you needed high water movement to keep the water filtered well and the fish happy. I remember every time I visited his store...

    Getting back in the hobby after 10 years, who makes a good tank/stand these days?

    So if I'm a newbie more or less (even though I have prior experience) and can't devote my full-time job to maintaining this aquarium, what setup would you recommend for a fish only tank? And what if I wanted to have a reef plus fish tank? And is there a definitive source that speaks of...

    Getting back in the hobby after 10 years, who makes a good tank/stand these days?

    Oh, forgot to mention, the maximum depth I have to play with is about 20" which makes it the 90. The tank would be going is a passageway between the kitchen and family room which is only 5' wide. So putting something 20" there still gives a little over 3' passage. What are you thoughts...

    Getting back in the hobby after 10 years, who makes a good tank/stand these days?

    The area I have for the tank can hold a 4 foot tank so I'm looking at a 55, 70, 90 or possibly a 110 (if they make them that tall in a 4 foot footprint). I did see a nice 90 on an oak stand stained in cherry which looked pretty nice but I was trying to find a higher end stand that didn't look...

    Getting back in the hobby after 10 years, who makes a good tank/stand these days?

    After 10 years I'm thinking of getting back into the hobby but the talk selections I've seen so far appear to be the same old stained oak. Are there any shops in NJ that may offer something different? I've been to Reef Encounter in Hackensack and Tropiquarium this weekend and will try to head...
