    Re: "Bulletproof Reef" Setup from day On

    well I misjudged, and couldnt afford to finish this thing. I took it down after only a month. :-( I've got a bunch of 15 gallon tanks lying around, and I was thinking of using a 120w PC fixture i have and making a small reef from it. I have everything from this 125 still except for the substrate and the lighting. I am willing to sell or trade all of it, including the tank.

    I didnt have an R/O unit yet, which I do now(not for sale) water costs were killing me, i was evaporating almost 8 gallons a day. op top of that i needed livestock still. I really want to setup one of these 15 gallons as a small reef, I want to somehow have all six of them linked together as one ecosystem eventually.

    that tank is 125 gallons. all in all, i'd say I spent at least $3000 on all of that stuff. the tank cost me $475 by itself.

    I got a lot of my stuff off 3reef from people selling it. Still spent a decent chunk but no where near what it could have been
