    hello all heres an update on my 150. ive still been getting my equipment this week. ive been lucky not to of had any thing go wrong with any of my orders online!!!!! my only set back has been my tank. the reason why is this. in april i did some work for the owner of a lfs in trade for my 150.(i have an hvac and plumbing company) hes been stalling me on picking my tank up. my tank is made and just sitting at oceanview (wholesale only) and he hasn't paid them for it. this is really setting me back on my build. :angry: hopefully ill have it by tuesday!!!! on another note i got a great deal on a new r/o-d/i 6 stage unit 100gpd for $125.00 shipped!! ;D and a new refractometer for $20.00 shipped!! well ill post some pics of my tank asap. i also am adding another pic of my cal/phos reactors and skimmer. ive had this skimmer before and loved it. it is an etss Gemini 800 duel downdraft superskimmer. as for my reactor it is a vertex rx6 duo they just came out and i dont have allot of feedback on it. so if anyone has used it or know anything on its performance please post a reply thank you all!!
