Okay but the LFS gets the fish for lots less than you paid
There is a huge mark up
Don't expect to get more than what they will get it for and that would be like $10 and then they will want to keep it for a 3-7 days in their tank
If it dies in that time---YOU LOOSE.
Okay that 120 is a great reef tank
Lots of those pics I took were from my 120. Perfect for Aquascaping with rock.
Get that tank drilled if it is not reef ready. 2 for drain and 2 for return
Get a sump for under it too.
Trust me---(Iam no scammer here--LOL) you will be better off this way.
Try not to go with hang on overflow boxes.
With the sump there is less chance of back up flooding and more equipment to fail on you.
All you need is a pump from there at about 1500gph
If you can at all-I plan on being at LHR Thursday and can show you the movies I have and photos of my own set up as well as one I am in the process now.
For the 120--be prepared to spend about a grand in lighting and that is for all of it, Bulbs, Reflectors, Ballasts, Bulb sockets.
You need about 1000 watts of light for that 120 for reef--less if you just want fish but you will want the corals.
Then you will have to get a good protein skimmer and good pumps.
the sump I can hook you up and make one but materials for that is already over $120 but it would be custom to your stand.
Really take the time to Visit Rod's Reef
He will back up what I am telling you and he will tell you I make killer stuff for a damn good price with quality.
I would just hate to see you go about that larger tank in the wrong way and end up costing you more in the end.
Believe me I did and blew a grand out the door only to end up starting over.
