Honestly, I do love my current tank, but I've really been stalking Joe's site. But every time I go to the build a tank part, I get so confused at all the options. I do not know what I need. Basically I know the size I want, and I want a sump, but all the configurations make my little brain start smoking.

I think I'll have to actually talk to him about a tank. I think it's time... soon.

What size do you want?
5-6' long and really doesn't matter for height/depth. Basically I moved my current 4' tank to a crappy spot for a couch space on the larger wall. But I'm the only one who occasionally sits on it and I'd rather have a sweet tank there. Wall is 5'6", but I could let it over hang the corner to get a full 6' there.

My current size is fine, but the stand layout prevents a sump, 2 small doors on the sides with a center shelf. Each side is only 15" wide so the sump would be undersized if I built one for it. Plus there is a sketchy looking bubble on the front corner seam that I've been eyeballing with increased concern so I'm thinking it's smart of me to replace it before it blows. And I don't really want to go through the hassle of switching tanks with the same since I'd rather have a sump.

Plus Joe's is making some great things and I need in on that.

I have a 6x2x2. Love it. Only thing I think I would do different is make it maybe 4-6 inches shorter and wider. I'm up to my pits to reach the bottom and would like to have more bottom area. They are grat there and will make everything work for whatever you want.
