So after a month of debate over price, size, dimensions, what the wife would permit space wise...I ordered a custom 320 gallon acrylic tank. 96"x32"x24" deep. I wanted to go a little deeper than the 24", but my builder said anything over 24" would have to be done with a thicker acrylic (1" compared to 3/4") which would really boost the prices. Its going to be a frontosa setup with some calvus, comps and a few others I have growing out in a 125 currently. Filtration is going to be a diy wet/dry. I'm debating on doing an autodrip on the setup my only concern is that it would really make buffering the water hard to do properly. The bad news is that I have up to an 8 week build time...:thumbsdow I guess though it will give me some needed time to build a stand and finish up with the wet/dry. I'll post pictures of the stand and sump as I progress.
 
Ok some pictures to make this a little more interesting. The current tank and stock, new wet/dry start, 3+ cubic feet of bioballs, media, sand, etc

Do the frontosas keep that bluish hue to them. If so when I get my larger tank I might need one lol.

They actually look very white in the pictures because of the lighting. They will get darker blue as they age most likely. My avatar is a picture taken in lower light. Though mine are mobas so they are a more blue variant of gibberosa (frontosa)
 
Grats!!! :headbang2
