Buying a new tank?
- Thread starter Codyisin
- Start date
Two things I rarely see on CL decent skimmers its always someone selling off their mistake, like a coralife, sea prizm, etc. and RODI's.
Spectrapure usually sells refurb units for like $120 which isn't a bad deal, and sometimes BRS has their units for $20-30 off on a holiday, probably memorial day being the next sale.

refractometer, couple brute containers for water will come in handy, one for pure rodi one for mixed sw. Depending on your rockscape plans maybe some epoxy.
Whats the output on the wavemakers and powerheads?

Definitely progressing well.
FWIW, you may find that 180 lbs of rock will take up a lot of space. Don't feel like you have to hit 1 lb/gallon. If anything, you can put a couple of pieces of rock in your sump.
You will want a pump to mix saltwater with. Doesn't have to be anything special as long as it has enough flow to mix the salt in your container.
