Okay, thanks alot freek! =)

My LFS is selling 75gals reef ready for 259.99, and then 79.99 for the overflow kit. Is this a deal, within the norm, or overpriced?

Whats the most common method?

Im a little confused as to the dynamics of a sump I understand that water from the tank goes down to the sump, passes multiple chambers, then goes back into the tank. What I am confused with is how. I see the ones with overflow compartments that go down into the sump, but i dont see where the...

Yea, it really is -- they are hiring too, if i didnt feel like going up 294 everyday i would definatly throw up an app. I plan to visit old town too, before i start to make any selections.

Every book I have read, in terms of FO, has stated that the consistancy of the number (as long as its not completely out of the range) is much more important than the physical number

I stopped in Living Sea today, the store was absolutely amazing. I was very happy with the entire store and enjoyed the hour i spent there very much. My girlfriend and I could have spent the whole day there I asked the guy in the tank department if they special ordered predrilled reef ready...

So ive been reading nonstop through various books, and am juggling the ideas of all the types of filtration. It seems that the most popular is the Berlin system right? Alot of sand and liverock to biologically filter - and then reinforced with a protein skimmer? Or did i totally miss the mark...

Ahahah, thanks alot guys. Ive just decided to bite the patient pill for a couple more months, drop a few more bucks in research, and visit some of the LFS that members here were kind enough to provide with me. Besides, I'm having a great time just reading about all of this. It is really...

Anyone have good experienced with online reef ready tank dealers?

I live just south of Chicago, and theres a few FS around here, but i was just wondering if anyone had particularly good experience with any within an hour or two of Chicago?

I am probably months away from getting my system set up, but even looking online at this forum, reading all these books on the subject, going to the FS looking at "what soon might be" - everything just makes me feel so good, and I dont even have a tank yet!

All of this has really overwhelmed me, Ive browsed hundres of pages of these forums looking at all of the incredible details, but really its opened up alot of questions, more than i have already asked believe it or not! :lol: My main begins with the tank. I had initially planned to get a 72...
