| Re: want one I prefer my LFS. Shipping large tanks gets very expensive. If you want to go that route, Glasscages.com - Home is the most common place that people get their tanks from, although you never know what type of quality you are going to get. Sometimes they are good, and other times people end up re-sealing all the joints because they either don't look good or leak.

| Re: want one At least 5x the total display volume for FOWLR, 10x or more for a mixed reef and sometimes over 20x for an SPS dominated display. 75g (x5) = 375 gph (FOWLR) 75g (x10) = 750 gph (Mixed Reef) 75g (x20) = 1,500 gph (SPS dominated) ---------------------------------------------- 235g (x5) = 1,175 gph 235g (x10) = 2,350 gph 235g (x20) = 4,700 gph
