Clownfish have been cleaning the pvc pipe in the QT tank for the last hour. Would be funny if they spawn while being in QT. QT babies lol.

I plan on getting 2 Radion 30's for my 350, one on left one on right,did you ever think of putting 2 15's and spreading them out instead of the 1 Radion 30 over the middle? just a thought very nice Tank. I keep switching back and forth on 15 and 30, finally decided to go with the 30's.

are you planning on more rocks?

Yes.

I always just thought I would get those wide spread lenses for the 30 if needed. I believe the 250 meets the specs almost perfectly for those lenses.

How do you like the 250 compared to the 170?
I'm about to purchase one or the other in a few months. Ideally I think the 170 would fit my situation best (renting a house) but the dimensions of the 250 are just so much better compared to the cube shape of the 170..

I'm afraid I'll get the 170 and regret it and wish I got the 250 instead..

But then on the other side, I'm afraid the 250 is too big and would be a hassle to move once my lease is up.

I would do the 250 IMO. My 170 is for sale if your local around PA but I see your in CA! ;)

I haven't completely sized it out yet and gotten exact measurements since I'm not at the new house yet.. but in your opinion, does the 250 seem like more of a hassle to move compared to the 170 or you think it'll be about the same?

Not more of a hassle you just need someone to help move it with you. I moved it myself but I wouldn't suggest that.
