    So what's the estimate of the total cost of the tank alone with materials and construction?

    Hey Reef Guru.... Awesome thread... Read each page. I know your gonna have an impressive livestock.

    Just outta pure curiousity... Where the hell do you go down in joliet for all your equipment needs and livestock. Only reason why I ask is because Im up here near o'hare and I am almost sure there is nothin really good down your way. But I could be wrong.

    And all this time I was under the impression that you were not going to have a center support stanchion. I don't blame you for putting one there. It's going to make a lot of difference having one.

    Was that the plan all along, or did you call an audible?
