Re: My tank

Well if thats the best deal you can find go for it! Maybe the pricing scale is different there due to shipping distances or something who knows. Itll be a sweet tank regardless Im sure.

How are things coming post-boil?

Re: My tank

Definitely don't use silicone to glue down your frags. Use either super glue gel or epoxy putty.

And that tank is about two or three times overpriced.

Re: My tank

Yea, use the super gel glue. You will have to hold it for a good 3 min if you want it to set really well.

I would have to move to a bigger place if I could get tanks that cheap here in Alaska. An AGA standard 125 up here is over $600 plus the same amount for an Oak stand with out a canopy. Add another $75 for a Reef Ready.

so im getting glue today.
With the tank thats the best ive seen around here so I guess everything is overpriced in tennessee. But ill look around on craigslist also. The thing is I dont really want a used tank, id rather get it new.

Re: My tank

I think that is waaaay overpriced. The equipment looks like crap and would probably need replacing (what are smart lights? Probably nothing that could support a reef). Not to mention, you are stuck with 15(!!!!) damsels and a trigger.
