Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
I have edited this thread to remove all of the unproductive and irrelevant remarks. I think that we all need to keep in mind that, even as passionate as our responses can be in relation to our individual situations, we're all looking toward the same common goals. We're a family and should treat...
Ohhhh. Ok. Although our 4' fixture sat on our 4' tanks and I still was able to use a canopy on both of them. I actually assumed you had a canopy already, but if you don't have to "replace" one then all the better!
No way I would get a taller version footprint of the 90. That would be like having a 55g tall tank. *shudder*
Rock and return pump can wait. You don't need to go all at once.
Immediate:
120g tank, stand, canopy
Delayed:
Pump Replacement
Rock
The increase in rock is only necessary to cover...
As Bill alluded... You could place a cap a the top of the second overflow to prevent it from participating in the "overflow" and allowing the tank to utilize one overflow only. That should keep your current overflow noise levels.
Those 6" make the WORLD of difference. I think this is not only a good reason to upgrade, but a SIGN! Your aquascaping will be so much more fun in the deeper tank. We have some rock we're getting ready to get rid of, when you're ready to shop (marco looking rock).
Which pump were you planning...
BIG Thanks to all who came. It was so wonderful to be surrounded by so much family. Thanks to all who brought food, drink, plates, napkins... etc! I'm not sure I got to try everything, but I enjoyed everything I ate. I hope all the new people enjoyed themselves and felt at home.
Thanks to MikeM...
Wow. My cousin had this posted on his website and (duh) I thought he wrote it. I've read that over and over and just love what it says. That goes for SOOO much in this life.
