Well heres whats been going on in my Reef world. I choose a Bio Cube 29 because of its size and for the most part like everything it has to offer. I will be making a couple of minor mods in the future like adding a Sapphire skimmer to chamber 2 and also LR rubble in place of the Bioballs for those fimiliar with these tanks.
May 20, 2007:
Purchase BC 29 for $229
May 27, 2007:
Purchase stand $129
28 lbs Live sand $35
Salt $25
Tank sits empty for a couple of weeks while I wait for my Live Rock.
June 13,2007:
LR order still not in but i have to set it up :D
Purchase 25lbs of Fiji Premium LR $50
50w heater $15
Hrdrometer $7
Thermometer $4
Saltwater Master Test Kit $27
Stress coat $10
So far to Date Ive spent approx $550 + tax
Got home after making the above purchases and make sure the BC29 is placed where I want it before I fill it up. And the fun begins. No mods have been made at this point. Heater is in Chamber 1. Plan on LR rubble in Chamber 2. Also Chem Pure and Purigen.
