Ok here is the deal. Both my wife and I measured every possible spot in the house and as much as I hate to say it she is right. I can't get an 8 foot tank in the house without it making it look like crap. She said that I could put it in the garage, but I'm not a big fan of that. So i decided to get a 220 gal 72" x 24" tank from the local pet store, but then I looked on craiglist and saw a 180 72" x 24" x 24" with sump, stand, hood, saltwater lighting and canopy for $350. I decided to get it. It is nowhere near as big as I wanted, but I'm ok with the fact it isn't as tall as the 220. The 220 would be a bit tougher to clean. The tank is being delivered to me tommorrow morning. Of course I had to pay the guy $100 to deliver it since he lives an hour and a half away, but it is worth it to have another person to help set it up and pay him for gas. What do you all think. Should I have just put a 300+ gallon in the garage or was it worth the money to get this one? Let me know your thoughts please.
