Re: Doc's Shark Tank
*News Flash*

I just got a line on a 220 for...get this...$100 bucks!!! I am all over that! I called the woman up in Salt Lake and she was dead serious. She has no idea if it holds water or not, but I have a ton of silicone waiting to fill in where it leaks. I will post pics when I pick it up tomorrow. I guess the best way to leak test something like that is to put it on my lawn and fill it with water? Maybe I should just plan on re-siliconing the whole thing anyway just to be safe. I am so freakin' excited!!! The fish tank gods are smiling upon me today. More angelfish...here I come!!!

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
mostly because Utah is a desert and I hate wasting water when I don't need to. I will think about it though.

I had originally thought of that when I built my stand. mathematically, it wouldn't work with the 7 foot long tank I was planning and still maintain the stability I needed in the framework of the stand. I gave up on that when I decided to cut down the original stand built for a 265 and resort to a 220 maximum tank size. The 90 gallon sump had to be dropped down into the stand and is not going anywhere. The 125 simply won't fit under as a sump. I am Ok with it because the money I get from selling the 125 will be used to help fund a labor day trip to Las Vegas for my sweet wife and I, so, I am fine with it.

Re: Doc's Shark Tank
your LFS might buy the tank back from you, and that would probably get you more money then craigslist would
