Okay, today I purchased that 210 G tank I was telling you all about. It is going to be delivered this week so I'm getting it the space ready. I found out why the tank was $1,900.00. Come to find out there is some scruff near the top, looks like the canopy just scraped some paint to me, the glass is fine just the canopy has a (not very) noticable bruise of paint on it so it knocked off $600.00.

I got a sump and skimmer to go alonh with it with the necessary pumps for water circulation and sump pumping. Sump is approx. 28 gal.

Will order some lights soon and build from there.

Sure thing, I got the tank on Friday so now I'm taking it slow. I also was told I should opt for a bigger sump so the LFS said they'd give me a larger one in place of the one I paid for, even swap but I figure I will need to purchase a protein skimmer now.

Also found that the canopy was cracked a bit but I put 2 screws in and Gorilla Wood glued it. It's fine now and nothing to be concerned about but now I see why it was the price it was. I guess when it was scratched it got damaged but it really is minor and not noticable.


Pictures will be coming, no problem.
