So long story short, the wife and I decided to go to Orlando for the r2r meet and great at wwc. Ended up spending to much in new frags and some how decided to get another tank (don' know how this happen)
We looked around for used tanks, had in mind a 20 or 40 shallow. Instead we got a hold of a used 90g deep blue professional tank and stand for $375 and the guy would drop it off in his truck for free, we couldn't say no.
So now we have a 90g tank and stand, just got a 40g breeder to make into a sump, don't know yet if it's going to be a diy sump or just have someone build it for us. I found someone that would charge $185 to build the sump for me with two sock holders, refugium, skimmer, and return section not bad right? We would have to unscrew
the top of the stand to drop the sump because it wont fit any other way.
We have pretty much decided on what equipment to buy but any sugestions are well appreciated.
Now I have some concerns with the tank.... I was just inspecting it and noticed a little gap in between the glass and the black trim that holds the bottom, should I be concern? The gap is only in the front of the tank the sides and back have some silicone on. We are going to do a leak test probably at the end of the week. Any tank expert that could help?
