Update:
I got a 125 tank and stand. It is drilled, but only on the bottom. It is set up as a walk around tank right now, but I will see what the new house looks like and if that will work. The problem that it has is that the drilled bottom is only for 1/2" bulkheads. If I set this up to do a return and inflow then it is severely limiting flow. Is it safe to assume that if the bottom is drilled that it isn't tempered and that I can drill it again?
I also sold the stand to the 225 today, got $145 only for it after having it listed for quite a while, not very much but it was not attractive so we'll see what happens.
With the 125 I got a 2x 96w PC ballast, and a Little Giant 3 pump.
I also got a RK2 with expansion port and the pinpoint pH adapter. Need to scrounge up some calibration fluid.
Total Cost: Tank and acc $300
RK2 $300 shipped
Profit from selling stand $145
New total: $1850
This is getting pricy. I was hoping to keep it under $2.5k I might still not including livestock. We will see I guess. I still have to get a skimmer (ASM G4x for $250) and build the stand for the 225 walk around ($500?) so nope, can't make it! Oh well its fun so far.

I know I had put more drops of cupramine in then the kit recommended, but I thought that the water changes were bringing the amount down so I was believing the test kit.
