The waiting is killing me...but lots of fun putting together the equipment...so far I have nothing!...but getting close on a few deals.

PM me if you need any particular equipment starting up, I may have stuff for you.

I had considered it but right when I was ready to order they jacked up the price because of the USD/loonie exchange rate. Blessing in disguise though, as I was able to custom order something that I would truly be happy with from Denny at Concept, for a fraction of the price. Feel free to check out my build thread if you have time

That's going to be a nice tank. Red sea quality is awesome.

I just setup a RSM S500 for an office and I'm still shocked at the quality of their work (although I don't agree with their c skimmer)

Made some good progress today and picked up some equipment from 3 different Canreef people. I now have a vertex illumine 260 with wireless control (there is lightning in my kitchen now!) a phosban reactor with a small pump, and a RO/DI system.

The best thing about today was the people in the hobby that I met, great people willing to spend some time to educate me and help me out!

It is a start, the hunt is on for a good quiet skimmer, and a return pump. OH and an Apex and gyre pump.

I got a skimmer, I got a skimmer! A vertex Alpha 170! More then I need I think but should be great. Now looking for an apex and a gyre power head and return pump 1000 GPH.

Okay enough already! The waiting is killing me!

I bought a new sicce 5 for a return pump. Not sure if I going to keep it as I ran it in the bath tub for a few minutes and thought it was a bit loud. Does anybody have any experience with this?
