New way to burn money

[Bnutz]

Hello everyone. My name is Matt and I've kept various freshwater tanks for around 20 years. I was out of the hobby completely for about 4 years until my son wanted a tank a few months ago. I purchased him a fluval flex15 and planted it, that build woke up the monster inside. I had planned on a large planted tank until my wife suggested a full reef tank. You can't say no to that right? Researching for about a month I've decided to start gathering gear needed.

I purchased a used marinland cornerflo 75 with a 4 bulb t5 light eshops 75 sump rio 3100 return pump some rock and 4 bags of new fiji pink live sand. The tank had a damsel and a molly and was in the process of cycling when I purchased it. I got the tank home and placed the sand rocks and livestock in a 29 untill I could make a better stand. I will be ordering a rodi from air water ice today. Ive also got the hanna reef test set ready to go. I got the current usa ic pro lights with 3 current usa powerheads 660gph. (Probably use t5 with the current usa lights)

Stand and canopy will be custom built

Contacted Air Water Ice and I was thoroughly impressed with the level of service. I wanted a dual system for drinking and rodi, he asked my tank size and household size and directed me to the dual reef system. More money later and I have ordered a the dual reef system with a dual inline tds meter. Free shipping and handheld tds. Thanks for the great service Air Water Ice and look forward to purchasing upgrades and refills.
