    Quoted fish tank price too High?

    I didnt want to thread jack the other guy who posted his price, sorry if this thread is redundant. But I just got a quote for a 110 gallon tank for $411 dollars.

    reef ready tanks?

    I think I am going to sell my 80g and get a 100 g reef ready. I am sick of trying to find someone to drill my tank and I dont want to risk breaking my whole tank. I would rather at this point just get a reef ready tank predrilled. How much would it a 100g reef ready cost? I am expecting 4-5 hundred.

    Drilling glass or cutting glass

    I have been having trouble trying to find someone to drill my tank for overflows. I was wondering if it would be easier to have them cut a C notch on the top lip and I could build a collection cup that would catch the water that went went over the side. I dont like the idea of a Siphoning...

    Finding someone to drill my tank

    I am having a little trouble finding a shop that is willing to drill my tank. I spoke with one guy who said out of half the tanks he has done only about half turn out right. I dont like those odds. Is drill a tank that difficult ?

    Live sand or NO live sand

    I have heard comments on here along the lines that it is pointless to buy Live sand. Baiscally most of what makes sand live has died off by the timeit reaches your tank. I understand that over a period of time my sand will become live. SO my question is, is it better to cut your losses and not...

    Heater and chiller?

    When do you determine if you need either? should I wait until everything is up and running to see how my MH lights and pumps effect the water temp before I assume I will need a heater or a chiller. Or should I assume I need both? Jeff

    SUmp cost

    is it expensive to have someone fabricate a acrylic sump. I mean a sump is fairly simple and shouldnt be too expensive. Right? my dimensions of the sump I want to create are 14 high 14 wide and 53 long. It is an obscure size I know that is why I am thinking it should be custom.

    Baffels

    I think they are cool and are good ways to divide up your sump , maiking it harder for sand and plants to escape your refuge, but what are micro bubbles? I am getting the impression they are bad? Jeff

    Mirroring the back of my tank

    Is this expensive? I have a 80 gallon tank and before I drill it for my return lines on the back I would like to have it mirrored. I dont want people to see all my pluming in the back. Also Should I wait until after I get my hole drilled to mirror it? Jeff
