I did get the combo at the LFS. I've always liked the JBJ cubes but this was the first time I saw a kit that I felt was complete. And getting the chiller for $200 was hard to pass up. I haven't bought a pump yet for the chiller. The LFS has a mag 350 I think and the 250 is pretty much the appropriate flow rate at the head height. I didn't realize that they were loud and hot though.

Any suggestions on a better pump? I was considering a maxijet 1200.

In the 10g I went with sugar sand and seeded it with live rock. If I go with that route again would you recommend aragonite over sugar sand?

That really sucks. I will probably have double that invested by the time I am done with this one. I looked around locally for quite a while but deals don't come by that often and when they do the are usually long gone by the time I find out.

The reason I was thinking of adding sand, rock, and water from the old tank was that I thought maybe on a biological level the transition could be made more like a large water change than an actual tank change for the inhabitants.
