I ordered my lights for the tank,

Hopefully they are nice, it was inbetween this one and the 10 bulb 4' Powermodule.

Whoooo boy Ben, did you hit the lottery recently? Between all the corals and tank stuff you've been getting you've been spending some cash

One of the locals has something similar, monster setup of T5 bulbs.

I wish I won the lottery lol, I own a toystore and its the holiday season...everything seems good during the holidays lol. That and all I spend my money on is my tanks, my house gets no attention and badly is in need of repairs and new hardwood flooring/carpets. But hey I would rather have a nice tank, thats just me :lol:

When i bought it a few hours ago it was on sale for 1199 too, was their last one in stock..guess I will have it in my closet till the tank is here in a few months. I also just bought a second vortech, I was planning on two votechs.

I was at a reefclub members house last night and he uses 2 vortechs and a strong CL on a ocean motion on his 150 SPS system so now I am not sure I dont need to add a third vortech. I will wait and see on that one though. I plan on using my current skimmer, BK Mini 200 ver 2 on the new tank.

So now I need to tile the floor where I want the tank, build and stain a stand, and build a new sump. I want to build a sump with a large fuge, frag tank, skimmer compartment, and probe bracket. I may do the fuge as a seperate tank. Not sure yet. I gotta order that acrylic too. I got a busy few months ahead.

Well I run two vortechs and a koralia (temporary) on my tank same directions as you... it's VERY open though as far as the rockwork (I'll try to get a picture of it if you like), I think I could probably go with 3 vortechs ... but I don't know if I want to plunk down the extra money quite yet ... I don't own a toy store, and when finals week comes around... I don't get paid anymore regardless how frantic the students get So I'm going to try a modded maxijet just to see how much flow that gives. Either way I do have a nice flow pattern in the tank.

Wait until you get your rockwork setup to dictate whether you need that third vortech though... although if you absolutely got money burning a hole in your pocket it couldn't hurt

Yeah thats my plan, I will try with the two and see how it goes.
