haha, you get what you pay for. I would never in a million years cheap out on something that could destroy your house in a second if it fails. I also wouldn't setup something so elaborate just because one of the cheapest components was free.

Nothing in life is free, everything comes at a price

Wow....just found out the person who took the tank who "prayed and grovelled for it" (according to the original owner) just resold it for $600. Nice....

Does that mean because it's $600 now that suddenly it's better? (I'll shut up now, lol)

Hmm, I've bought some nice systems that were dirt cheap and they were great deals. Full 120 reef, oak cabinet/canopy (8ft tall), MH halide lights, 200 pounds of rock, custom sump, skimmer, all livestock, etc, for $175. Thinkin' that's a pretty good deal....
