Mike- thanks for the rambling! This is the type of info that I need. I am looking at Alex's 110g tall with great intrest. I would really like to find something like the 125g from houston, where somebody just wanted out of the situation or plans a major upgrade where I can get EVERYTHING! But I digress; I still have constraints on the area I can put the tank. There is 5ft between two enteranes into my livingroom, and the way my bar shelf is set up the canopy cann't be taller than 5ft 7in. And no I'm not moving the bar. I want to be able to mix a drink while feeding so I can enjoy both at the same time. BUt again I digress. All the reading I've been dooing tells me to figure out what I want in the tank first. So must look at picture books and internet pics and lfs. Thanks for the experience info.
