zipperbaum is looking at reefs
Default Re: So you get $20,000

I was in Orlando on business and stopped in at a LFS whom accroding to the zero edge website is one of only two LFS who carry the tank. They had a very small reef set up.... it was a great look. I watched a turbo snail craw right over the top and start down the other side which was kind of funny.... it comes with a light bracket and filteration is built in.

I think this would be a great 2nd or 3rd tank...IMHO it wouldn't look that good as a big reef tank as I would want to be able to see more clearly.

I like the linked tanks idea....

On the 3 story aquarium... I said $20k not $2mill! LOL.......

I love the detail of the post below.... (and my best friend has the last name of Squires)....


$2200 new 300 acrylic tank with custom coast to coast overflow
$3500 custom built stand and canopy
$1500 custom built 220 or so sump/fuge with stand and lights
$800 euro skimmer
$1400 1/2 hp chiller
$5000 2 48" solaris led lights
$500(?) calcium or kalk reactor
$500 plumbing (ball valves, true union valves, loc line...)
$3000 live rock (600 pounds at $5 per)
$600 live sand (600 pounds at .99)
$1200 ecotech vortech powerheads, battery backup
$1000 2 Iwaki pumps
$1000 heater, tests, additives, medications, etc...

so far $22,200 - not that I've spent that but I could do it no problem!!!!
