May need to change my thread title.. lol, I just updated my totals on Tank and equipment and I’m over $1,700 :oops: I added the coral box doser’s and realized I had never included the BRS parasitic pump for my Kalkwasser.. all these added another another $200 to the bottom line.

Ha! Good advice.. Im only keeping track of totals because this is supposed to be a budget build, still think I’m doing great with what I have put together Vs cost.. if I had purchased a high end aquarium and all top of the line equipment I would easily be at 6-8k by this point.

Thank you Katrina! Sometimes I wish I could roll the clock back and relive those days.
 
Dosing pumps are here :) Incredibly fast service from ReefBreeders! I wasn’t expecting them until next week.. they look fantastic and even come with extra heads, hose, anti syphons and calibration vessels to verify proper operation.

Super awesome build thread! Found it very useful.

Where did you get the steel stand?

Thank you, the stand is from petco.. honestly I should have just built one as I’m not 100% confident in it, I tried to do lots of research on them and couldn’t find any reports of them failing but still makes me nervous.. lol. It’s probably fine I see guys with two 40 Breeders stacked on regular steel shelving like they have at Lowe’s or Home Depot for your garage I’m just paranoid;)

Thanks! I also did tons of research hit it seems tricky to find any steel or aluminum stands that fit well... If you don't pay for custom.
