Another reason for me to move to Florida!

Great feedback, thank you. There is a 60gal now but agree, if I do replace I will go 40gal and use the rest for storage.

Does anyone here have a suggestion on any shops in the greater Boston area who would do this kind of work? I am currently at Marina Bay in Quincy MA. While I love being there, and the service is great...it is also VERY expensive (from a service perspective).

Thanks!
