Re: I gotta get me one of these!!!

He had it listed on Craigslist for a while, obviously he didn't have any takers.

I agree MPS, just getting it setup would be prohibitive. We figured out that it would cost $850 JUST for enough salt to mix to fill it. Add in a 1,000 gallon sump/refugium, and you're up to $1,300 JUST to fill it. Add in 3,000 lbs of live rock at what, $3.50 a lb? (assuming you can make a deal with someone for that much rock). 1,000 lbs of sand, although you could probably use the inexpensive stuff. still a lot of money though.

What do you think? $15,000 for the skimmers you would need? What about lighting? Another $15,000?

Nah, that's too big. I personally wouldn't go above a 1,500 gallon tank.
