    I finally have a day off to go and buy a tank. I'm also going to purchase a skimmer and refugium.

    The tank will be an AGA 120/150/180 long with dual back mounted overflows. Not sure yet how big I'll go but I'm leaning towards the 180.

    I'm looking at the CPR SR61 and Aqua C EV240 skimmers and the
    ADHI Model 45 Refugium. I have a Mag 9 but I know I will have to pick up another, perhaps bigger pump.

    I know equipment choice can be very subjective in any endeavor but I would like your input on the above choices as well as any personal experiences any of you have had with them.

    I'm still researching lighting options and prices but I have a 48" Coralife 4 bulb/lunar LED fixture I can make due with to begin cycling.

    Update

    No luck finding the tank(s) I was looking for today. More shops to hit tomorrow and if no luck I'm ordering one and should have it by Friday according to the guys at one of the LFS.

    Also, I made some time to look at skimmer threads on here. I kinda get why I got no input now- so much has already been said! I'm gonna dig a little deeper into the skimmers tonight. It seems there's equal or better options to what I like- and at better prices to.

    Any advice on the pre-fab off the shelf refugiums? ...Anyone?
