Hey all,
Haven't been around for awhile. I was a fairly active newbie around here awhile ago. Had a 125g I was going to set up. Never got around to it due to some financial reasons and I sold it to help pay for some stuff. Since then I've gotten everything back together, and my new bride is moving in with me.
So now I'm back in the market for a tank and hope to get a setup going sometime this Fall.
I'm looking for some pros / cons that some of you more experienced folk have had with the different sizes of 4' tanks.
I'm planning to use a 60g for a sump in the stand underneath so total water volume should be pretty decent no matter which I choose.
Obviously I'd prefer the 120g, something about that 24" x24" of water column just really appeals to me. However once I plumb it (assuming I drill it myself) I'd be looking at being 30" off the wall and that might be excessive...
So just some random ramblings and announcing my re-entry into the newbie ranks.
Feel free to add anecdotal evidence and your thoughts!
