rosslonghorns Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 After some discussion with my wife, we're thinking about downsizing our 180 gallon to something that is a bit more manageable when it comes to water changes and everyday requirements. We are looking for something in the 30 - 100 gallon range. We really like the DSA Nano and the overall rimless look. We would prefer something like that. Our plan would be to set it up and then transfer over our corals and some of the other livestock. Once moved, would be able to break it down. I'm looking for a possible trade or just outright purchase a downsized tank that meets our criteria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband has been begging me to get a bigger tank. Since our system crashed this last weekend, it is currently down, but we are planning on putting it all back up tomorrow. It is a 55 gallon with a 30 gallon sump. My husband knows all the technical details, but if you are interested, just pm me and we can try to work something out.

Iplantz Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Try searching the new Solana XL. Its a rimless 60g cube, I like its look. Just like the regular solana but 2x larger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yep, I think we're leaning towards the Solana, I love the rimless look but the height could be challenging on aquascaping. We also like the DSA Nano too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustint21 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Kingfish can get you any size you want. I have been thinking of going with a rimless cube also! Good luck! PM sent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Is there any chance you could post pics or send them to a PM? I might be interested in buying you a new tank as a trade. I've been wanting to upgrade my 125g freshwater tank to a 220g. I might be willing to settle for a 180g. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosslonghorns Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 In my album I have pictures, I hope this link works: http://www.austinreefclub.com/index.php?au...um&album=78 I did see a DSA Neo 90 at River City today I really liked. Talking through details with the wife now, potentially going to purchase it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medi Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 What is the measurements on the tank and stand? I might be willing to trade my Solana...that is if the wife will let me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosslonghorns Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 I'm still thinking about a downsize but haven't had a chance to check out what is locally available at the fish stores. One more check prior to buying a new smaller tank. Looking for something in the 30-90 gallon range, length 3ft or less with front to back >18 inches.

caferacermike Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Too bad it took to long. I had cash in hand when we were discussing meeting up so I could pay cash for a new tank at the lfs. I'm now very much cash poor. Count me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I have a 58g 30x30x15(Tall) Glass Cages cube (Rimless). I can't see you trading a 180g for it, but just thought I would throw that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
