hello, This is my 2nd go at things, the first time i had a 45g tall tank i found used at a great price, it came with evrything wet/dry, lights.The tank was great the only thing it didnt have is a girlfriend that would take her time when i was away fora week. She killed all my fish! Sold the tank and dumped the girl. That was 2000 for Christmass my New and improved girlfriend told me to go out and buy a Saltwater setup and she would pay. In Our local want-ad i found a 70 gallon half cylinder used with a wet/dry, lifegaurd, stand, and a cheep light for $300. I want to set up a reef tank this time and i have all the time in the world. This is what i biought for the tank 150watt MH with Two 65 watt True Actinic 03 Blue, 5- Stage Reverse Osmosis System, turbo twist uv by corallife, 200 gallon protein skimmer, a hagen master test kit, and a copy of The Reef Aquarium Volume 1 by J. Charles Delbeek and Julian Sprung. with the $300 for the tank i have spent $1250(i love ebay) I guess what i'm trying to say is this is what i want to have. I cool reef tank. one i can look at for hours. Some fish but lots of corals and the cool stuff. I know it will be some time till its all done. is there anything else i am missing for a reef tank?? At this point i know i'm looking at another $1000 on corals, fish and live rock. any tips??
