Looking to get back into a SW tank
Well after a 2 year abscence (separation, moviing etc) i have not had a SW tank and I am completely lost.
I happened to be at Big Al's a few times in the last few months and noticed this nice 300g tank setup there (tank, light setup and stand) are going for about $5300 or so (good price?)
I am looking to get into a 300g tank. what are my best options here?
That setup at BA is nice, but when all said and done when adding a sump and protein skimmer i am sitting at about $6k
Is it cheaper to get a tank this size made? what would it cost? then go with a homemade stand?
basically i am starting from schatch, i would need new lights or i could utilize my 400w mogle setup and my 2 vho setup in the interm to offset costs,
Basically i am looking for opionions, my options etc. I have been out of the scene for about 2 years, heck i havent logged into Canreef in over a year (glad my account was still here)
