Yeah getting it up and running the right way with a new return pump, better skimmer, a circulation pump, an over flowbox plumbed to the tank and modifed sump cost an extra 400. I know T5s and metal halides work cause i have seen it but i dont wana spend more money on bulbs when there is a better light system out there. I just have to choose the one that's right for me and what I can afford. Pollys and the guys here on maast have been a huge help with advice, frags and equipment. I know when I get my LEDs the T5s will be given away as well as the anthilla when I get more corals when my tank is ready for it. There's corals and fish I want right now but my tank ain't ready. I am happy for what I got now and will be greatful when I can get the corals I want.
