My New (used) tank

[tahojones]

Hello all my reef friends,
I finally did it. I bought a bigger tank. It is a 155 Gallon with stand, canopy and sump (I think). It has a trickle filter/sump (which I know nothing about). It is RR with all the built-in plumbing. The protein filter is in-sump. I think I got a good deal; at least I hope so, we'll see when I pick it up this week-end. I got it from KY a guy named Jason, I think zef knows him. I paid only $650. The man who sold it to me has a 4 foot lighting fixture with 4 T5s that he wants $175. for that is one year old. It that good? The footprint is
6'X18"X27". I'll let you know more later.

You can get used MH fixture pretty cheap, me personally won't pay $175 for 4 T5

I agree with Chen. I know there are going to be several MH setups at the swap for sale.

Does anyone know if the MH are already spoken for? If you know who has them, I want them..... Thanks LindaJ.

check the trade forum, but you can't do it yet until you have 50 posts. I've seen a lot of fixtures sold in dirt cheap price.. patient is the key.

also a 4' light fixture isn't going to do you much good on a 6' tank. just sayin.

Thanks for all your help guys. Don't know what I'd do w/o you. Even though I LOVE this hobby, I certainly would not be getting another tank.
