I just purchased a 110 gallon tank at a local store it came with stand and glass canopy. We have decided this is going to be a family hobby something we will all enjoy and taking pride in. We previously had a 55g FW tank but after buying this new tank we are going to try to make our dream of owning a SW a reality. So I've got my tank and stand now I'm stumped I'm looking at a sump with protein skimmer for first purchase. I plan on the hang on the back overflow since I don't feel comfortable drilling a hole in the tank. Finally my question; I've found the LiveReef Sump but noticed the hefty price with it too. I do not want to build my own sump I want something that is basically "plug and play" is there anything else out there like the LiveReef but relatively cheaper? Or since I'm completely new to salt water should I just splurge to begin with so I don't have to worry about the headaches later? I've been googling like crazy but I haven't come up with any results.
