Hi Guys,
We are considering redoing our living room at least partly to acquire more fish
We would likely be looking at getting 2-4 foot tanks, probably 120s (28x24x24) though other sizes are a possibility, and wonder if anyone has any advice on tank and stand acquisition. We would do them as "reef" tanks with overflows and sumps.
A major consideration is that we need the whole set-up to look good and be pretty clean. We have a fairly modern looking condo without large amounts of space so "big" furniture doesn't work well. We are unlikely to go with a canopy for instance as it is too visually large for you room.
If anyone has any suggestions on where to buy both tanks, sumps, stands, and anything else for that matter we would appreciate it.
A couple of things to note:
- neither of us is much of a wood-worker, nor do we have tools and niether do we have space to build..so building something is probably not really an option.
- Yes, we in theory have room for an 8 foot tank, but prefer two four footers as we would like the fish variety rather than "big" fish.
- Cost is an issue, but we are willing to pay for quality here, the tanks will be the main focal point of our living room and need to look nice.
