I'm talking the real deal man. Talk to the guy in the photo, I'm sure he has some for sale, you gotta wait another nine years to talk to him though, he was just here.

lol I got you. [emoji85] nine years is long time tho.

Yeah, but I still need lots of stuff for it. Not including the live stock. [emoji33]

I have a 300g mixed reef and yes be prepared to spend a lot of money. I had 10k in mine as well before it got wet. Just take your time and buy good equipment. That will definitely help in the long run. Make sure you qt all fish going in so you don't run into a lot of problems. That was my biggest mistake when I got started. I lost 2k in fish in 3 months due to velvet outbreak. Good luck man!

Thanks man!!! I appreciate the advice. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm buying the best equipment I can get my hands on. I'll be posting In the next few days some pics as stuff arrives. All fish are going thru qt. It's a must. I've been through that as well, and it sucks when one sick fish wipes out the whole tank.

Stock list yet? Super stoked to see what goes in. Sometimes I wish I would've done this with my 300 dd. You can have some beautiful fish.

Def a French Angel...saw one when snorkeling around Cozumel. And a Unicorn Tang :) Awesome size tank. But I will put a $10 bet that you in a few years you will want to convert to a full living coral reef LOL
