I'm probably going to order the tank from Aquatica, a store outside of Cleveland.  I'm driving through Cleveland in a couple weeks so I figured I would stop in then and try to work out the details.

Is that the place you and Blair checked out while we were in Cleveland this past November?

Yes.  I believe you where there when I spoke to the owner of the store in the lobby of the hotel.
I used to be a people person... but people ruined that for me.

Yes, Tony was there. IIRC we were talking about the way online stores kill mom&pop shops. ;)

What are your plans for filtration on this tank?

I have always wanted a large tank.  I used to care for two 500 gallons... that made it even worse.

If you are going to keep rays i would skip the pikes and discus. Stick to other fast growing monster fish like bass and aros. Rays eat everything lol even my big fish usually get eaten

I actually just lost a 16" CK they tore his head right off

Very eager to see the tank

This tank was ordered last night.  Should be ready in a couple weeks.  I'm gonna wait to build the stand until I get the tank to make sure overflows and such do not interfere with any part of the stand.  My goal is to have it up and running by the end of March.
