Going to look at the 180....

I'm going to look at the 180
She's agreed to 400 for the tank because she wants it gone by the weekend! I'm going to look at it and if its all she says it is, I'll be bringing it home tomorrow provided I can find some bodies(someone told me a 180 empty is 500lbs, is that true?)

Its more tank than I ever planned, but it will be soooooo worth it. Standard tank size 6x2x2. Will t5's penetrate 24"? I'm already thinking lighting.........can you tell I'm excited?

Also, someone told me my eel and maroon would be fine with my other fishies in a 180 due to the size? Is this true, cause if so, I'll likely go down to one tank.
