Well $200 is a decent budget to go with and you can probably stay around the $150 Mark with the 4-Stage BRS Units. With this budget I wouldn't run your system off the well, atleast to start, as you will more than likely need a booster pump to make up for the poor pressure from the well pump. A booster pump will eat up about half of your budget on its own.

Agreed. And he can always add to that BRS 4 stage down the road.
 
Yeah I def dove in head 1st lol. I had been looking around for a few weeks at some used tanks and didnt really know what I was going to do or buy but this guy I work with heard me talking about wanting to get one and he said he would give me everything he had for $100 so I jumped at it. Not sure if it was a smart or dumb move yet lol.

100.00?! Yeah, that's a no brainers. I would have been all over it as well. We all know too well just how expensive this hobby can get. I just started a new build. I had been out of the hobby for like 10 years! My last tank was a 150 gallon. Now... me being completely drawn back into the hobby recently, have decide to go big or go home. I'm building 280 gallon tank now. That's how I'm diving in head first this time. Lol!
 
It will be a lengthy process, I'm sure. My wife and I are doing some remodeling. I was hey! Perfect time to squeeze a tank build in on her! lol! Didnt take much convincing though because our 2 year old absolutely loves Nemo and Dori. I told him that he could actually have his very own Nemo and Dori and my wife has been looking at me funny ever since.

I'm not sure about them now... but when I set up my 150. I got my rodi from a place called purelyh20.com. I stumbled across them on accident and they had good prices at the time. I had great success with their products.

you can absolutely run a reef with a canister. I broke my 406 upgraded to an fx4. Remember to clean it once a month and grease the o ring.

Speaking ive got all new seals and what not to replace for the 406. I'm not using them. If you want I'll ship them to you. I can't use them.

A 406 canister is well over a hundred new.75 used. I think you got it at a steal. Your kidos will love helping you pick out live stock.

That was the same thinking I used when I bought it. I googled the 406 and saw prices anywhere from $120-$200 and that pretty much sealed the deal for me. I knew i was going to have to invest some more $ but whatever, I feel like I got a really good jump on getting to where I want to be with it.

Thanks again everyone for all the great advise and links. I was really starting to get kinda overwhelmed with this new tank but you've def given me some confidence bc I now know I can ask questions and receive really solid and quick answers.

I will def start a tank thread here shortly for everyone to see. If nothing else also to keep track of my progress.
