Unfortunately, I am a b*&^erd and a moron. I literally not even five seconds ago got off of the phone after ordering a 190 gallon, rimless, starphire tank brand new to be recieved on september 10th or 11th -_-. I am both loathing myself and loving myself right now because of a few reasons. One I really cannot afford this tank (Even though all the equiptment I bought will fit perfectly on this tank) I now have less money for other stuffs . However, I am loving myself because I originally planned to buy a 265 gallon rimless tank but then decided to go with my existing 125 gallon instead. That didnt last long.

So I thought Hey! meet myself in the middle and just buy a 190 gallon . The tank will be 72"x24"x18", front panel starphire, two overflow boxes in the back left and right hand corners. This will be an amazing reef set up as planned. However, I will now be forced to wait longer for cooler stuff! But i guess I can wait

Here are some equiptment updates/ goodies that I got in today

Reeflo Snapper / Dart Hybrid external pump 2600 gph or 4300 gph



Something every reefer NEEDS. Apex Aquacontroller with every top of the line accessory to go with it


As well as a few 34 pound bags of this crud....... Inspired by our one and only melev haha its actually really awesome looking and cant wait to put it in my new tank


More equipment such as a dosing pump, Uv steralizer, lighting etc. will be here in the next couple of weeks......... My name is Blake and im a reefaholic

    I edited your post a little to make it easier to read. Use the Return key to help format it better.

    Congrats on the new tank. With those dimensions that tank will hold 134 gallons and not 190. I to an upgrading to a larger tank. I have a 195 comin in 3 weeks with starphire glass on front and both sides. Measures 72"x24"x26", gonna take a while to get all the high end equipment as well. Keep us posted on how its coming along.

    Arcticfox32 I didnt look at this post after i posted it however i did realize that it wasnt a 190 gallon when i redid the measurements on my calculator. I called them back and told them that they were wrong about the measurments and the new tank will be 72x24x25 youve got a whole one inch on my tank haha. thank you tho i appreciate you letting me know because if i didnt catch it in time it would have sucked!

    and neenah I did it just for that reason

    I wasn't trying to compare tanks, I was just hoping it was a mismeasurement and that you were not getting a smaller tank than what you wanted. Bigger the better. Hope the build comes along smoothly.

    Besides the Numeric part of the bra size is not the part to brag about.
