Well after months of planning, this dream has become a reality and it seems a little surreal to go from drooling over countless reef tanks on this site to finally starting one of my own. I wasn't really planning on digging in quite yet until I ran across Petco's "dollar per gallon" sale and could hardly turn down the savings. After a few phone calls and realizing alot of people cash in on this sale, I found one remaining 40 gallon breeder and a 20 long for the sump. With $90 in savings, I couldn't go wrong. So here it is, the beginning to my devotion to the ocean.....
Equipment:
-Aqueon 40 gallon breeder, drilled for 1" overflow
-Aqueon 20 long sump/refugium
-Aquaticlife 6x39 T5 HO with 4 lunar leds
-Koralia evo 750, Korailia nano 425
- Marineland 100 In-Sump protien skimmer
-Maxi-jet Utility 3000 return pump
-Homemade stand 36 x 38 x 20
Did a test run for two days with freshwater-no leaks thankfully and everything seems to be functioning properly. Hoping to fill with saltwater, sand, and live rock this weekend. I'm like a kid at Christmas except I'm flipping the bill! More pics to come.
