Love the website! Right now I only have a small freshwater aquarium, but I am hoping to upgrade to a 55 gallon this year.

That is a great deal for $650! 220 gallon is definitely going to give you a lot more space to work with in your tank. I love the large Angelfish also...currently have an Emperor, but in the process of building a very large tank and will keeping multiple large angelfish once the big tank is done. Throw some photos of your tanks up in the photos gallery...I would love to see your setup.
