Freedom has a nice sound, doesnt it? A bit of recoil too.

I was this close *holds up index finger and thumb almost touching* to ordering a 1"-1.5" tomini tang and naoko's fairy wrasse earlier... but I decided to hold off because $60 shipping...

I never got that far in the process but suspect thats part of the reason for lower pricing. They arent calling it free and working it into the cost of the fish. We all know nothings free

I still may order them... we found out our new tank is in Atlanta, only 5 hours away... and they had my work phone number listed as contact info... when I gave them my cell number. I guess they just used the call ID.

At least the chip diese has been stopped. Nothing worse than a chip fish.

I like your thinking... what do we need to get this thing wet?

Sump: Trigger Sapphire 20 cube
Heater: using the 200W neotherm from Deep Blue and adding a second
Plumbing: going with blue SCH40 PVC. Will order when tank and sump gets here and I know how much of what size. Gate valve from Deep Blue(pretty sure I didn't glue it) few ball valves for manifold and a check valve to keep the returns from draining all the way back to the sump.
Return: Jebao DC pump in the garage. We'll get a nicer one later.
Flow: 1K Gyre from Deep Blue, for now.

I think that'll take care of the equipment for now...

Oh yea, skimmer... gonna use the Bubble Magus for now, then switch out for an Eshopps. The Bubble Magus is the wrong color...

Color over performance anyday! Im actually very happy with the curve 5. You’ll have water in it a lot sooner than i was thinking!

Probably a month out so I don't miss any bills... lets say two to be conservative. Kinda need electricity to run a reef tank.

We may have done a thing last night... y'all really shouldn't leave me unsupervised with the internet and a debit card. Trigger Systems Sapphire Cube 20 sump and 2 boxes of CaribSea 'Life Rock' branch rock on the way.

At least your debit card has good taste!
