Some time after I post this question that I learned myself that besides the good effects it have, there be many drawbacks as well. The skimmer that is going on the 240 cost about $1,000. So with that knowing that even I not the money to do things as fast as I like, I still however buy the best I can for these tanks. A total cost with both reef tanks right now stands at around $32,000 and im not done yet.
I know that water currents is the main ticket while keeping SPS corals and in the sumps I will have that miracle mud. So for now, im looking into all possible angles here to do all the best in these tanks setup.
Right now, the two larger jobs to do are the changing of the lighting on both tanks and the sump on the 240 and after, the rest of what needs doing are considered as small jobs.
Saying much there, I know that the ozone would add to the tanks conditions and that not konowing its functions can cause serious damages for the system, but in all, I need to feel that things are doing OK while the long hours im at helping with my grandchildren. Besides all else ghere, I have to understand the maintaining of these corals as it is that I not need to add to the problem if I will have any that is.
Say Rich, I think we covered that idea of one skimmer doing the job for everything, I not have any place for doing this idea that each tank has its own sump with skimmer. For yes, I would be all for it that a skimmer for 1200 gals or more with a sump more than 1000 gals.
I spoken a little to my lfs guy today, that we will add the phosphate reactors with the calcium reactors from the start prior to any stocking of these tanks. I did tell him however that a long with the two carbon dioxide tanks I will like a third tank for so that when i need to get refills done, I can wait for my own personal tank and not accept their tank refills.
I found out the other day while I was waiting for the lfs to get in a pair of Yellow Golden Heart Triggers that they sell for $900 each for he had a Gem in and i wanted very much to take its pic, but he had to shp the Gem out just few days ago, it sold for $3,500. This is a tang that I was giving a quote of around $1500 to $2000 and now I know that it goes for ,a lot more then that, lol
One of my ideas were to see if I could get me a pair of clarion angels which then sold for $5,000 for a pair, but somebody had mess this up that was catching these fish without any permission and a restriction has be put into affect making this fish off-limits.
