gioNVA July 25, 2009 Share July 25, 2009 oooh this sounds familiar. Did you get this setup from Richmond? If so, that is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bankyf July 25, 2009 Share July 25, 2009 "Circulation: 2 Vortech MP40W Powerheads or 2 Tunze 6101's on an Aquasurf" Or, if you are brave, aquasurf those MP40's. I have done mine and absolutely love it. I still let the mp40's run in reefcrest, but use the aquasurf to slow them down at night and during feedings.

reefhunter July 25, 2009 Author Share July 25, 2009 Yes I bought this tank as a breakdown package deal... even came with rock. The gentleman who sold it was moving and had just set the tank up in February. I was shocked when I arrived and everything was cleaned and looked new, in original boxes, not a scratch on anything. His asking price was with coral and fish, which I opted not to take, so he gave me a even better deal. Kevin Garrison was kind enough to ride with me and move the set up. It is in my kitchen now and as soon as I get supports under the tank I am going to fill it up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Lazar July 25, 2009 Share July 25, 2009 Don't worry Hunter. You're not addicted; you could stop anytime you wanted. It's just that you don't want to stop right now... The good news is that since this tank is only half the size, you'll only spend half as much time on reefing as you did with your previous tank, right? At least, once you finish setting it up, plumbing it, installing the rest of the hardware, troubleshooting and fiddling with all the new hardware that doesn't work quite the way you intended, building the rockwork, trips to find and buy new fish and corals, arranging and glueing all the corals in place, and writing this build thread. This is too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw July 25, 2009 Share July 25, 2009 (edited) Ok Hunter, let's get one thing straight........I'm the record holding tank switcher in this club!! Judging by your last tank, this one should be no less than spectacular. Following along. Edited July 25, 2009 by steveoutlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't make it out to Richmond due to work and schedule with the kids. Congrats and I can't wait to see more progress on this one.
