TRENT Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I have a 210 (72x24x29) FW setup that I would like to change over to a SW. What would be the pros and cons (besides cost)? Is the height a problem? Or do I just stay content with my little 40b. or try to find a 180? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I miss my 210g! Yes, it is a bit high but it definately is nice to have the extra coral and fish space. I really loved my 210g and it was well worth it. I have a 180g acrylic now and wish I had a 210g glass. I liked the dems better for display though I have to say it is easier to reach the back of the 180g. I say set that sucker up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRENT Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 Ok, you guys talked me into it (that was easy). I took out all my decoration and have it for sale on CL and a FW site. Once the fish have sold. I will start to convert it to SW. I pretty much have all the equipment besides Skimmer and Light. The light will be my first purchase. What light would you guys recommend for that height? Garrett, I promise you will be seeing me soon. I will need LR and lots of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Higher placed hard and softies with 250. 400 you can do anything. Use sunlight supply with elite reflectors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either HQI or electronic ballasts but it kind of depends on what you ultimately want to keep in the tank. I have lots of rock when you are ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
