New to hobby

[almtz]

Hello All

started on the hobby about 4 months ago with a 90 gallon, but as most everybody in the hobby, i started to want a bigger one. So monday my wife tells me "why don't we get one that spans all the width of the wall (8ft) in the family room. it only took me about 20 seconds to call my LFS and order the new one, lol. a 210 gallon 72 x 24 x 27 because they did not had the 84 x 24 x 24 (265 gallon) and it would have taken 1.5/ months to special order and couldn't take a chance with the wife backing out, lol.

i will be trying to do a build thread on the new one, next week we start the build on the stand where it is going to be located and hopefully they install the new tank next friday.

this is what i will be having on the 210.
