    I just pulled the trigger and bought this 300gal beaut today! I was in my local LFS to get 5gal of water and started talking to him about his tank. Turns out they are re-locating and want it GONE. I got it for a steal. I get the lights, tank, stand, ALL LR & any corals stuck on them, water, pumps, skimmer, powerheads, literally everything and she starts coming home at the end of January. I may have a heart attack though, I can't believe I just bought this. I plan on replacing the lights and skimmer, add RO/DI ATO, my buddy owns a cabinet shop so he will either dress up the current stand or build me a new one. Let the fun begin;D

    Any suggestions on new skimmer, lights, pumps, etc I'll take em!

    You're the tenth person to say that.. "AFTER"!!!

    Well.. I've already hit a couple snags. The tank is too wide to fit through my doors. My buddy owns a moving company and I hired him to move the tank. The tank can be carried on its side and fit in my door, he's going to build a frame around the tank to support it during the move. Also my florida rooms floor is not perfectly level so I have a guy coming over to build me a level platform to place the tank and stand on. If you would have told me a year ago I'd need a moving company and a contractor for my next tank I would have fainted!
