Sorry to hear about your bursting tank. That is a nightmare we all share! Did you lose any fish? If you have room in the garage I'd go for the 535g, it is nicer to have a wider tank for sw, it offers so much more options for aquascaping the rock and the big fish would appreciate the extra turning room. Although an 11' long tank would look pretty awesome!
yes sir , i seen to run into the same confilict you do with my situation. The 350 gallon would look reallllly nice , and im going to have to upgrade to a 1,000 gallon tank in 2 years anyways so i figure go with the 350 and have something nice then build something suitable when its actually needed. I didnt lose any fish because they are all BEASTS haha. The side seam busted, leaking a good 5 gallons every 4-6 hours , they are all at the fish store and awaiting their new home. I cant wait to get this tank built.:)

o ill get them back thats not the problem , i just need to get this tank finished for a good price. I am only 18 and at home , so i dont have the biggest bugdet. i have a 5,000 dollar budget and so far the 535 full set up would cost me 5500... so i think the 350 is better for the time being. I have to pay 35 dollars a day for them to hold my fish :cry:

yea theres always tank mates for any fish if you give it a try. Although some willl work out and some wont. Its as i always say , trial and error , with close observation and enough research. Some amazing things can happen with fish and their tankmates. But yes a moray and a bumblebee could have a couple of tankmates in a 600 gallon. In the wild bumblebee gorupers get 8ft 1,200 pounds. Although i knew a 15 year old BB grouper that was old and was 5ft long 86 pounds. Thats about max , for captive groupers they dont get half as big in captive tanks. But the last BB full grown in heard of was in a 20FT long by 6FT wide and 36 Tall.... it was called the runway....
