Hey all , I'm sure as you all know it's tax/bonus season. It's been a good year for me personally and my wife has agreed to letting me set up my monster tank. I thought I'd post the question and have some fun with you guys and see if any of you wanted to make a build (kind of like a PC parts thing)
The tank I was initially looking at was an 8' 240 gal from glass cages. It's about $3867 for eurobraced with lids, black silicone, ghost overflow and the bulkheads.
This leaves me probably $2000-3000 to finish the initial build. I plan to add a reef pi monitoring system later and it's not included in the up front budget.
I was thinking about 5 smat farms LEDs, 2x Gyres, and I hadn't decided on the sump, skimmer, or return. Some of this could be acquired secondhand and thus saving some money.
I'm wondering if you guys had any opinions or suggestions on what I have left to acquire. Or if you're just bored and want to "build a tank"
