    Yea I have 5 tanks. My largest is a 180 with large bichirs, knifefish, and ctenpomas. My largest reef tank is full of sps and acros with some beautiful tangs. My dream is to make and plumb a 1000 gallon system. But that's not for another decade probably

    I dont plan on finalizing my plans until at the earliest this coming fall. I want to be thorough and make sure I make the right choice.

    Thank you for the response. My entire life I don't think I've ever had 6 feet of snow at one point. at most we may have 18 inches sitting there. I see your point and this is the reason I wanted to check. from what I read people keep large tortoises in large yards in the range of 25 by 25 ft. I...

    So I am brand new to this forum as I am planning on getting a baby Sulcata in the next couple of months. I have been browsing the forums and absorbing as much as I can. I live in upstate Ny and have a good amount of property (own 6 acres but have surrounding woods all around it.) I have a...
