I went all out!
Well, it got to me...
I like the look of the slim and long 30 gallon tanks rather than the taller 29 gallon tanks. I went out and bought a 30 gallon tank, stand, CPR Bak Pak 2, 2 Maxi Jet 600 powerheads, 32 lbs. live rock, 30 lbs. live sand and created my underwater world! It looks amazing and I have some pictures that I will post in the next few upcoming days... Can't wait to show you guys!

Re: I went all out!
if you are gonna make it a reef thats a mistake because its really hard to find a good light for a 30

Re: I went all out!
The length on the tank is 36" and I have found many, many powerful lights that can turn this into a reef tank. However, at this time I am not looking to do that. I have a 30" 36W T-5 Coralife Aqualight 10K day/actinic (RIGO) + 1W lunar aqualight all on a timer... I am very happy with the way it looks right now

Congrats.
You'll love the 30 gallon,plus when you decide to up grade you can use the 30 for what ever. My wife took over mine for a sea horse.

Re: I went all out!
I have a 30 gal reef and they sell tons of 36" fixtures so that wont be a problem at all. BTW if your like me you will love the 30. I love the 3 foot and yet still small for small places. Good luck and send some pics.
