Hello everyone, having a salt water aquarium has been a dream of mine for over 20 years now. I have been dreaming reading books on owning a reef watching videos after that became popular. Always day dreaming about having a tank of my own, was unable to for one reason or another. Between not making very much money to being in the military constantly moving around and not having the time to devote to a tank. Well my waiting is almost over! me and my family moved to Florida a couple years ago. Well this past weekend I talked my wife into going to Wide World of Corals in Orlando just to look around. Well needless to say my wife fell in love with some of the corals and decided I could get a tank from them. After talking with Jake for awhile we all decided on a lot of the gear needless to say it will be rather expensive (you will see how much when you see the list). Went home got our ducks in a row now planning on going and picking it up and ordering the stuff tomorrow. The list so far is:
Tank: Waterbox 220.6 black stand
Lights: Ecotech Radion Gen6 XR30 Blue x3
Skimmer: Regal 250SSS 10" space saving protein skimmer
Power heads: Vortech MP40 x2
Pump: Vectra L2
Controller with gear: Apex A3 Pro, Neptune ddr and dos, Neptune Trident
Heaters: 600W BRS x2
about 100lbs of different types of Caribsea dry live rock.
10 20lbs bags of fiji pink sand
Testers: Hanna salinity, po4, no3
salifert ammo kit
a jump guard
7 stage RODI
and a few other odds and ends like super glue, epoxy, magnet scrapper.
Ill get pictures posted as soon as I can. and any opinions and anything be happy to hear.
The tank will be a mixed reef tank. So far for fish I plan on getting
Fish: Purple tang, pair of clownfish (not decided what type thou), Kole tang, lawnmower blennie, yellow watchman gobie with pistol shrimp, carpenters wrasse, longnose hawkfish, and a group of blue green chromis, copperband butterfly
