Guys!

I almost forgot to mention this. JVHarding of RB is helping me to build the tank. Without him I wouldn't have dared to get such a big tank. Tank wait to see saltwater fish swimming in my living room (I know I have a long way to go...).

[rlcline76]

Aaah yes, we sing praises to this man regularly!

[blind1993]

yep he will make u have no mistakes at all he is an amazing person.

[jvharding]

Well it was so nice to meet SanJay! The Idea of helping in choosing his system felt good. We road together for about 40 minutes to the Hidden reef.

The Hidden Reef Aquarium Online Store: Saltwaterfish, Freshwaterfish,Tropical fish, African Cichlid, Pondfish, Live Tropical Plants and all Hi Tech Aquarium Supplies in Philadelphia

we discussed what he wanted to do with his tank and we discussed the budget and size of the aquarium. Please take note the size was 48X24X24 125G
well I am not sure who had more fun but for the record Sanjay choose this tank!

180 Gallon AGA Reef Ready


After careful consideration on the tank we again discussed the budget. This is where it was decided and we we began Filling the Cart!

This was the Depressing Part for Sanjay!




Ok First Key Item:



Second Key Item:



We Chose an 2000 GPH Iwaki pump for main pump. 4 RIO Power heads 2 Rio 2500 for use in SCWD Design and 2 RIO 3100 for the Spraybar. There is a mag 7 for the Skimmer and UV Light which is a Aqua 40W with Wiper for easy cleaning. We also got a 2.5 gallon Kent Kalkwasser Drip Unit. 2 Buckets of Reef Crystals. We also got some other small Misc. items

So at the End Of the day we had delivered his stand. and we have to go back monday for the tank. For now Sanjay dreams of his tank and is feeling the initial pain of Initial Investment. Stay Tuned!

It's so fun to Help someone build a System. I have got to admit that I feel guilty for having to say well you need this and this, and you have to have that because of this. One thing for sure, this is going to be great system once we get all the componets need for the build!

[rlcline76]

I'm, I'm just...well, I will not be going shipping with you!

No I was not, we were to busy building a system. Why would you not shop with me? I did not twist his arm. I am going to have to hold him back once the systems Up! I am going to need you guy's help in doing this.

[rlcline76]

Well, my butt has been hurting since I saw a picture of that shopping cart. I like to take my debts in small increments.

[Krazy]

Sweet !!!

Just curious but whats that aga 180 go for over your way ??

[jvharding]

Tank Stand and Glass caps was about $950

[sanjaypawar]

Holy ...... I do look depressed in that picture. Well...its not easy to see $2,900 vanish from the bank account in a matter of 2-3 hours and we are not even half way there.... Its a little overwhelming...particular y because I have no idea about how the whole system is put together.

Thankfully I have Jack and its great. All I have to do is swipe the card ( I think I am into it now and am excited about getting the system started.

We will keep you posted.
