I listed lots of nice equipment for sale in the 'Hardware' forum.

Read Hydro Innovations build thread because he gives you a pretty good idea of what you'll be getting for your money. I think the overall, general consensus on GC is that they build solid tanks at affordable prices, but with sloppy silicon work and poor customer service. Personally, I'd prefer to go with AGE. However, if cost is a factor (AGE is expensive), I'd look at OceanView for a custom tank build (Jake at RCA is a distributor).

Brian, Mike & his friend, and I moved the whole 180g set-up (livestock/equipment/rocks) in about 3.5 hours.

I bought Finfriend's (Brian) complete 180g set-up, but I've re-listed the tank/stand/canopy for sale in his 'Complete Systems' thread for a steal of a price. Hurry, get in line!

I've been racking my brain about an in-wall build for my 240g for 18 months and couldn't make it work aesthetically....finally today, an epiphany!

I like my water surface to be rockin'. It creates a great shimmer effect with the halides.

Pretty, but grass should be grown in a yard, not a fish tank.

DSA Neo 185 is 60x30x24 (brick) and runs about $1100 at the LFS. Marineland Deep Dimensions 200g is 48x36x27 and runs about $1300. Marineland Deep Dimensions 250g is 60x36x27 and runs about $1500. Glasscages.com has both your dimensions (190g/195g wide) and each run about $900 (plus overflows). Ocean View will give you the best price on a decent, custom-built tank. That is, unless of course you want to go TOTL and order a custom AGE tank through Kingfish, but be prepared to spend $$$. Jake at RCA will give you a 10% discount on DSA/Marineland tanks with the ARC membership card. Plus, they'll deliver the tank to your house for a very reasonable fee.

River City Aquatics (near Round Rock) sells RO/DI....$1 for 5 gallons.

I use the BRS ROX carbon. Maybe it's just my impression, but my water seems to stay much clearer, much longer compared to other carbon I've used. I switched to the BRS Soda Ash for Alk (huge savings), but I still use Seachem Reef Compete for calcium because it doses other ions as well (magnesium & strontium). I hated B-Ionic....could never keep Ca/Alk in balance.

Some good friends are moving to Des Moines, Iowa. Guess who's hosting MACNA XXIII 2011? "Sure, we'll come visit you guys! What are you doing Sept 9th-11th?"

My Lawnmower Blenny is so fat, he rests on his stomach, not his little pectoral fins.

Does anything smell worse than a dead/decaying snail?

I was feeling guilty that I didn't do a waterchange today, but I just tested my nitrates and they're undetectable. I'll sleep better tonight.

Wondering who ended-up buying GreenMako's tank.
-
Am I wrong to chuckle when I see RC forum builds that look like they cost thousands of dollars and hours and the tanks look horrible?

Oh, the flow....oh, the humanity.
