So, on impulse and thanks to the tip off from @ashburn2k, I now find myself the proud owner of a 150G tank but have no more room in my office to cram another tank...at least not without structural failure...
So after much mulling, I've decided that the only spot I can put a tank is the nook on my back deck. And, I always like the idea of minimal energy consumption for reefing. So, I've decided to set up an outdoor reef that will use natural sunlight as its main source of photosynthesis... my initial thought is even the refugium will be sun powered but I might give in to placing it in the sump versus in the DT and using a light underneath the stand.
At first I was worried I had to reinforce the deck but taking a peek underneath, I was pleasantly surprised... it's already well reinforced from what I can tell. less work -- I LOVE that!
Will keep you guys updated as I start the process to hopefully my last tank build for awhile (I keep saying that....I know...)
For the record, this will be my 11th operating tank (after tearing down 2).
