Well noticed it's kind of quiet around here and all
Of reef central guess everyone is on Facebook

Haven't had a tank up and running for about 5 years
Really excited to have a glass box of water again

My start up has been done with a minimal budget
Plan to upgrade equipment as I go

Got the tank and stand here for $150
Got an old wet dry on offer up for $50
And really turned it into something nice IMO
Came with 2 bulkheads I really needed
Got the other 2 on Amazon for $9
2 40 pound bags of sand from a store in Dania beach can't remember the name
Very nice place $70 on sale
Dry rock also here from LACY $60
Old but working 72" 12 bulb t5 fixture on offer up $65
Band new reef octopus 202 skimmer can't say incase my wife finds this
Had an old mag 7 pump
And about $40 worth of pvc plumbing
Plumbing the tank was a lot of fun something I really enjoyed
Doing back when I was in the biz

Will be buying a used mp40 or similar
heater,ATO,fuge supplies and test kits this weekend
Ordered 6stage ro unit from BRS this morning

Planning on buying the aquatic life t5 fixture that allows
You to mount kessil leds looks to be the best option for my taste

Will update as I go
