OK so ive taken on this huge massive project for a friend/client. Its going great so far, heres what we got. (The whole story)
So i was at my friends auto shop the other day and there was water all over the back alley, he was like "have you ever been to the shark club" (i havent) anyway they have a 5000 gal tank in side the club (Sharks, rays, huge fish, ect...) anyway the return pump broke and flooded the whole club and everyting died! I was like "HOLY $#!+" and told him that i have/do salt water. Well long story long he wanted me to set him up with somethen, soooo......Went on craigslist (gotta love it), and scored!!!!
135 gal Tank $?
Stand and Canopy $?
Live Rock and Sand $?
All Pumps and Lights (power compacts, needs upgrade prolly T5's but whateva) $?
35 gal Sump w/skimmer $?
all extention cords and outlets $?
Any guesses on cost?????????????????????
$650!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OVER $4000 INVESTED BY PREVIOUS OWNER =D
My friend/client has already spent over $400 at LFS but thats nothen for a 135gal, still with that its just over 1K to have up and running. Freaken amazing!!!
Oh ya and the guy i got the tank from had a 2000gal that was built into downstairs house that was already broken down and he gave me over 600 punds of live rock and dead coral FREE that i sold back to LFS for $1.25 an LB. =D
So the tank has been runnen for about 3 weeks now, all the perams look good. Added some chromis' last week and there fine so i added Yellow Tang, Cleaner wrasse (who was tangs buddy at LFS), and a cleaner shrimp.
Heres more pics, ill keeps the thread updated also
