just moved and getting ready to set up my 60 gallon hex. not sure what i want to put in it. it has 3 bulb system hood so soft corals maybe. i am setting it near the front door so it will be the first thing to see when you walk in the door! seriously thinking about fresh water. i have always loved cichlids! or a friend has a tank just full of gold fish, pretty cool to look at! the wife says fresh water! what do ya all think?

A tall tank like that may be good for sea horses.

Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships.

If you would like to do cichlids, I could help, with yellow labs? Let me know.

Listen to your wife Jeff!!! LOL
I think you should turn the tank on your back porch into a Japanese style tank!! It would look awesome!!!

If I remember correctly, taller tanks aren't great with bioload because of the actual lack of water surface for gas exchange. It also would be harder for corals since they would be so far from the light. I really like the seahorse idea. Do Discus need swimming room?

Buy my 250w DE MH and throw it above it. 
On a slightly less joking note (seriously it is for sale...), a seahorse tank would rock!

LOL Jeff Looks like everyone wants you to have a sea horse tank. Isn't that what I said? I think you are going to have to raise sea horses!!!!

Well, you could tell her that due to my tank-serial- killer tendancies I'm afraid to set up the other tanks I had planned, so out of the goodness of your heart you're gonna set up the tanks at your house to keep the fish safe from me and my tanks of death.
It's not that you WANT to set up those freshwater, soil/sand, planted tanks-- you aren't doing this for yourSELF at ALL! It's all about saving the fish.
It's all about your generous heart...

Haha, my neighbor did that with his old Trans Am. His brother is "babysitting" the car, but he charged his brother a few grand and turned over the title.
Be sure to post pics when you get it set up!
