Ok. Well, I pulled the trigger. Waterbox 70.3 ordered. Unfortunately, it will be mid June before it ships :/
But oh well, that lets me stagger out the rest of the purchases.
I also ordered my RO/DI system, a 28g rectangular Brute to hold RO/DI and/or mix, a couple lidded Rubbermaid bins, and a bunch of dry rock, and the RedSea Fish Pharm test kit (the one with alk, calcium, etc will be in the next flurry of purchases).
Please correct me if I am wrong: I can give the new dry rock a rinse, and let it soak for a while in pure RO/DI, then in a couple of weeks, make some saltwater, and add some Dr. Tim's, and have it start cycling before the tank ever gets here... correct?
Next things: deciding what sand I want, and what salt to use.
Pics and updates as they happen.
