So my wife and I final came to the conclusion that we needed to up size our main FOWLR tanks. We had a 100 gal and a 75 gal in the living room taking up all wall space. And the fish had out grown the 100 gal especial a FREE Lopezi Tang we got from Saltwaterfish.com that was only .5 inch to start with and inside a year its pushing a foot. Over the Christmas holiday we found and settled on a 180 gal that came with a DIY 60 gal sump and an Iwaki 1153. The previous owners had it sitting on cinderblocks so I get to make the stand hood and as you can see from the pic the tank has been drilled in the side for the returns, don’t know why that would be done myself.
Bringing the monster home



There was also about 1/4 inch of sand 25lb of rock one brackish water figure eight puffer and two 18" snowflake eels. The will all be going up stairs in our 60 gal breeder that has been holding my live rock. Till I can get the tank stand made and the tank is ready for peeps.
