My wife has had a rule of nothing over 50 gallons since I have been back in the hobby. Right now I mantain around 120 gallons of water. We recently did some moving around of stuff to make room for my frag setup and I made enogh room for a 120 and my frag tank :yes: . After some talking and showing her how I could set this up without alot of out of pocket expense I think I have her talked into it. If I do this I'm going to be using alot of stuff I already have and selling off some stuff to get the few things I need. So looks like I'm in the market for a 4' 120 or 140.
I just about have her convinced

It will probably get taken down. I would use the sump I have for it on the new tank. I'm Figuring the 120 would actually be easier to manage than three systems.Plus the freshwater setup my son is getting plus the pond. I just have too many systems to manage right now. I know I will be keeping the frag tank I'm in the middle of building but its gonna be plumbed into the big tank.
John-
What you need to do is talk up getting say a 240 or 300 --tell her how set you are on it and how great it's gonna look, etc. etc.--have her convinced that you're getting a HUGE tank--then at the last min. say-look what i found-this measley 120 (or 140) I know it's half the size of the 240, but I could tell you really didn't want the 240-it'd prob. be overkill anyways, so I got this tank with YOU in mind-haha-she'll buy it-I'm sure!
