I have a beatiful 120 gallon reef ready tank. (notice I said REEF READY, it's still empty )
I have been searching high and low on the net and lfs for good prices and advice. I'm in NJ (but born in NY, so a NY'r at heart!) So far I have the tank, as mentioned 120 gal reef ready, 4x96 power compacts (coral sea life mfg.) supreme mag drive sump pump mag 18, Red Sea berlin classic skimmer (sump) Power sweep 228 power heads (2) and a titanium 300 w heater. ***Notice the missing sump?** Here is where the problem lies, I have 50-50 split, some say get a pre made sump , ie.berlin bs2 or sump 150 or do I get a plain old 30 or 40 g breeder and go that route. going with the tank I will have nothing seperating the skimmer space and really no mechanical filtration besides the skimmer. Any advice?
Now onto the pricing part of this, who is a reliable source to buy LR from at a good price, I have seen pre cured from dr Mac for $2.99 + delivery. Myself and a friend who has a 125 will be needing lots of good stuff to stock our reef's with. Also need Sand. so any help???
