My latest purchase... I'm so stoked.

Over the last few months, I've been slowly acquiring parts for a future tank.

Red Sea Wavemaker - eBay - 110 CDN (shipping included)

Tunze Universal 220/3 skimmer - thanks yifan917 {Canreef} - 150 CDN

2 10 gallon tanks (future refugium and QT) - thanks kris {Canreef} - 5 CDN each

The big news...
Yesterday, I had to rent a van to pick up my new pride and joy...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2372246213&category=20755&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1
"175 Gallon Oceanic Bow Front tank, mint condition, includes tank, full bottom cabinet, and full top canopy."

I checked out Big Al's and they sell it as a package for about $3000 CDN
I checked out J&L and they sell the tank for $1319 + canopy $99 + stand $599 = 2017 +tx
- I got it for all for $810 CDN. (+$50 to rent the van)

I know the skimmer won't be enough... I bought the skimmer back when I thought I would be getting a 90 gallon tank.

Sorry, I'm rambling.... I am just so stoked. I could barely sleep last night. Be prepared for the barrage of setup questions to follow.

Paul.
