I completely agreed! And still think that you have done a great job even if you feel that you don't have enough equipment or feel that you haven't give enough attention to it.
I'm about to set up my upgrade system. I'm going from a BioCube14 to an 120 Gallon Oceanic tank. I'm just waiting to get the last few pieces of equipment needed at Macna this fall. Are you planning to go?
So far I got the tank, MH + CF fixture, a beautiful sump/refugium, water reservoir for ATO and base rock. I'm thinking to get a main pump, a couple of Vortecs or Tunzes for recirculation. No skimmer for now, because I'm going to cycle this tank for three months before adding any fish or corals. That's my plan so far.
