I'm all for starting big, but that might be a bit much for a start in the hobby. Not much in FW translates over.
It could also result in a complete system crash. A couple years back I moved from one apartment to another apartment - IN THE SAME BUILDING - and it upset the balance and killed off all my fish and most corals.

I would say buy used, but empty.

Good luck.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
