Several Months in the Planning I pulled the Trigger after a ton of research, I decided on the Prostar 200 Peninsula, I looked into Red Sea, Water Box, IM, SCA, Cade. I came to the decision on Prostar Based on Cost/Budget, and I Love the Preassembled Metal Stand, Wasn't a Big Fan of the Sump provided as the Refugium Compartment is really small. So I placed the Order with Tyler from Two Tides Aquarium Supply on April 26th, of course with everything going on I knew there would be delays in materials E.T.C. So While I waited for the Aquarium to be built I started ordering Components and Building Rock overall was a ton of fun, This will be my 7th Saltwater Aquarium may or may not be the last who knows. With the Budget in Mind I went cheap on the pump and saved some money by buying some stuff on Amazon and E-bay. Aquarium arrived 7/22/21 with 0 damage was packaged very well and overall condition was perfect, with the help of my Sons and a few friends we got it inside the house and assembled, I quickly started working on the set up. Hung the Lights, installed Led Lighting in the Sump Area, wired everything to the Control Board and hid the wiring using a couple of kits I bought on Amazon. Will be putting water in it this weekend and getting it started, only have a few other items to buy (1) refugium light, and (2) wave Makers other than that it is ready to go.
