- Start date
It will be a long slow build as I will be purchasing things piece by piece as my budget allows.

that thing probably cost $400 just to get it shipped. that isnt an outrageous price for that kind of tank-is it?
i looked into a GC 30"x30"x24 tall and they wanted nearly $1000 plus 250 to ship it. that was a couple years ago. no starfire either.

no i priced it on glass cages and got it for $100 less than their price before shipping. the base price doesn't include it being reef ready, overflow covers, holes in the overflow. basically anything but the 4 sides and the bottom. So I think it was a good deal. Steve also was nice enough to offer me an extra $100 dollars off for paying with check or cash (basically passed his merchant services fee savings on to me). He was also very easy to work with throughout the purchase.

yep woman cave lol I am not quite sure what the exact location yet still moving things back and forth to try and decide the best location but i would love help planning. I am still new at the big guys! I seem to be especially weak when it comes to plumbing. So far all I know about plumbing is it will be plumbed into the basement and I want to set up a fish room with some propagation tanks.

If you need some help with your plumbing, let me know. I have my 175g plumbed into the basement. You could come by some day and take a look. I used to have major heat issues before sending my sump downstairs. Not to mention that It makes changing water such a easy job. I can dump and fill my tank with 30g in a matter of minutes. I live in Bromely Park.

Oops!
Sorry about the gender specific remark.
Ok, what "Person" would not want a "Cave" that included a great tank like this?
I'm thinking a club plumbing party when you are ready.
Seriously, this club is great at lending a hand. Just post when you'd like to have your home invaded by "Reefers".
No pun intended to Michael Phelps.

Tony,
That is an awsome idea for someone who didn't mind a bunch of people in thier house at one time. So much input could be added and the work could be done at an amazing speed.
Heck, We could even have a person going to get parts, You know that happens!!!!! I can't think of how many times I had to go back and forth to the store.
