Made some final decisions (and committments) - hope Matt doesn't read this before I talk to him.
My OM 4 way, 2 flex nozzles and two Sequence Darts where shipped today for arrival on Wednesday.
I have decided against larger pumps that I was originally going to go with mainly because I think it would have been overkill and a drain on my electric bill.
I waffled a bit with myself over doing the sump myself or going with something like a LifeReef sump. I'm a die hard DIY'er and I need that sense of accomplishment. I've decided to put it all together myself.
So this evening I put in an order for 5 tanks. All Perfecto's.
I haven't heard anything bad about the Perfecto's. It is my understanding that they are moving their operation out of the country so it is yet to be seen what the quality of future tanks will be like but for now they should still be good.
1 - 150 gal 48x24x30 - Display
2 - 29 gal 30x12x18 - To be connected together as one sump
1 - 20 gal 24x12x18 - QT
1 - 30 gal 30x18x13 - Frag
Price: $528
All tanks were on "special" except for the 30 gal breeder
Along with these tanks one Ecosystem Refugium will be plumbed in as well but I already have this.
I've also decided to do the mods on the display tank myself as well. I'll build up my confidence on the other tanks that will need drilled before I move on to the main tank.
Wish me luck............
