After months of looking for something different, I came across this Lee Mar 150G tank. Its dimensions are 48x30x24. I have been looking on the internet for more tanks like it and so far not much luck. I would like to find information and reviews, mainly to do things right the first time. If any of you find any info with pics please let me know.
This is not my first tank but I have never done a tank thread before, so please be patient. Tank is sitting in my garage waiting to be cleaned. Stand is not in very good shape so im going to be working on it as well. I need to find a door (anyone here willing to build one to match the original? Or I might just replace both doors) I have not decided what type of lights or filtration system im going to use. I would like to have a mix reef, a little bit of everything I guess. Still planning so not much to be said right now. Ideas and comments are appreciated.
I will post as I go and pics will come as soon as I am able to upload them.

So, you are the one that ended up with it. That is a sweet tank at a great price. Can't wait to see it going. Keep us posted and good luck.

Here are a couple pics of the tank before I picked it up
as you can tell it had one door. The previous owner had sent the door to a carpenter who was going to build the stand for his second tank but never heard back so no door to my stand. The back and inside of the stand were in very bad shape, it took a while to make look good again.

After many hours of sanding and looking all over for the right stain for the stand we decided to go with a minwax stain. Its Mahogany, this was our first, well second, I realized what i did wrong on our first. Cant really tell because the first one was black. i was looking for an expresso finish but i couldnt find anything on stain, only paint. Wife wanted it red so she is pleased with the finished look. Hope you like it!!
My wife and I put the tank on the stand by ourselves, we took it from the garage through the house,the room is on the other side of the house. we are never doing that again, although I was very impressed by her strenght
