yeah... then you're going to be like me and realize that it's uber expensive with just doing waterchanges... jeez...
i don't have an R/O system... so i buy my water at a LFS for 25cents a gallon... that and the salt... i pay 80 bucks for a 160g bucket of tropic marine reef pro salt... that's only 16 weeks of water changes on my 90g tank... i'm setting up a 500g frag setup soon... man... that's going to be an expensive upkeep in just water and salt...
in water i spend 230 bucks a year for 13g a week... fail... i need to invest in a R/O system...

yup i was looking for a tank for a while now.I did transfer most of my stuff to the 34 solana , the stuff that did not fit got sold to the lfs.i do have some frags that i will ship when it gets warmer out(exept puffed..lol it cost way to much). and if you are ever in the Buffalo area look me up...
Lion it cost me 675.00 bucks out the door and i love it + its going to save on electric now to..i traded the huge nepthea and green sinularia and some rock, i bought 2 colonys of acans..1 small frag of acan , 2 bowerbanki frags and a bright red blasto colony...Pimps going LPS...hehehe oh yea and a small frag of Blue xenia =) your not the only one in town with em now..lmao..

pimp must b a drug dealer to afford all those frags and his new fancy setup.... slowly but surely ill get corals... even if i have to give arms and legs to get them here.... it will cost equal to buy them off the internet because of shipping...... that tank lookd bigger than a 34 though... hum optical illusion

Dude basicly i buy frags and get some for free at times, i focus on growing corals so i can frag them to a saleable size, and make back the origanal money i spent on the coral..no drug dealing here man..just coral slangin..and pimping bitches..lmao...and 60 hrs a week at a parts store...
