I'm gonna need some way to manage water.I think I'll start with three 55 gal (new food grade never used) drums. Left will be waste water from the tank,middle will be ro di, right will be new salt water.

I decided to go with Lifereef for several items. I had Jeff send me a 6 foot tall skimmer and a custom refugium.

Still not enough gear. Tap water is not gonna do it so I had Marc at Melevsreef.com send me a boosted 150gpd rodi system.

Back on the phone with Jeff at Lifereef.com,I settled on some Blueline gear.2 Blueline 70hd return pumps(one is for a back up just in case) and a 1000 watt heater with controller.The skimmer pump is a Blueline 40.

One of the things I hated in my freshwater days was top offs and water changes so I got ahold of Kevin at Genesisreefsystems.com and settled on the complete Renew and Storm pro systems.

So far it's been a lot of Canadian money being sent south of the border. Hey Dave at Concept Aquatics(here in Calgary if you didn't know) can you build me a nice 180 gal tank? Sure! When do you want it?(how about he made it for me almost 2 years ago but it took me this long to get it going).

Holy crap! That's a lot of gadgets!!!!! Gonna be one sweet system

And a 6' skimmer? :O I would give it to Kien along with a ladder Will worth it more than putting it with any other tank
