 Starting over
Decided not to drill the 72 Gal bowfront I got a "deal" on a few weeks ago. I still do not have an internal overflow box for it and they cost around $150 plus the cost of the drill bits. So....I went to town and bought another tank. Of course a bigger one(with my wifes permission. I LOVE her) Now I have a tank and stand for sale and oh, yes the light I
bought for it also. Everything else I bought will work just fine on my second new tank.
The point is now that I have spent many hours reading, talking, going to stores and just
plain researching the subject I made some major mistakes before I even got water in the tank. It has cost me $$$ and some pride. For those people that are new to reef tank
hobby like myself, please heed this warning and do diligent reasearch before buying, building and maintaining a reef tank. This weekend I will be setting up my new tank with all the compatable parts instead of trying to manufacture everything to save a few bucks.
