Anyone else this way?

I'm in the planning stages of a 180/220g (not sure which to go with yet) and doing lots of reading and research about equipment and livestock. The more I read about the different aspects of the tank, the more I'm realizing that the live rock and all associated life and everything from tbs is the part in most excited about. I mean, I love fish and coral and everything else I'll be stocking the tank with, but the build threads and pictures and testimonials have me so excited about the day I pick up my live rock package. Anyone else feel that way?

If you have to choose, a deeper tank (front to back) will give you more bang for buck without really affecting you lighting choice.

Well, the difference between the 180g and 220g standards is 6" of height. I'm still leaning towards the 220g, just because I think the extra height would be nice for aquascaping, swimming area, water volume, etc. Lighting will be trickier, but I'm ok with that. lol

Unpacking TBS rock, especially Part II, is like christmas when you are 6 years old.

Your first build thread is one of the reasons I'm so excited. Can't wait to see what you do with your new tank.
