@CrazyCatGal

I you are getting things together for you tank. Have you figured out the lighting yet?

Lol, it's Alex, not that I expect you to remember. Lighting is all I seem to have finalized. I'm going with the
aquatic life hybrid. I have a couple kessils in mind. I plan to add one in (kessil) when I come across one, at a good price. I'm not up for drilling my own tank. So that's stalled. Sump, I may have to cave, and buy preconstructed. Those two things have really frustrated me. I have one lead for help, fingers crossed. I'm just reading a couple building threads, like yours to stay positive. :)

I plan on taking advantage of cyber Monday.

And adventure not my thing... lol, your motto makes me nervous.

It's a term used when sailing. When things get bad, look at it as an adventure instead of a negative. Out on the water, things can happen real fast. having a reef things are much slower but with patients, we learn and we grow:)

I'm a social worker, the fact they don't list prices tells me it's not in my budget, but am going to look them up store wise. Thank you very much.

This should help you out link In the reefing world there is the distributor, retail outlet that sell at MSRP.

Tank update, found out when I was replenishing the 1+2+3+ I did not have 3 hooked up:eek:

Starting new recipe with the Mg in 3+ was a snap
