I got the glass fish tank from PETCO about 250$with 85G Acrylic tank that i am turning into a sump. i got the sump for 100$  i decided to make the acrylic tank the sump because it has been scratched up a bit from previous owner. did a fill test with this own and no leeks my main objectives right now are getting the equipment i need. the things i have now are 75G fish tank 85G sump with acrylic baffles and bubble trap Reef Octopus (150 Gallon) In Sump Needle Wheel Protein Skimmer 199.99$ Vacuum Pump <- possibly for overflow box but i would rather drill my tank 15.00$ 2X 250 W Heater for 90G tank 37.99$ things i need 1. sump pump 2. LS LR <- i want to get some Oolitic sand and LBTR 3. overflow box will probably make it myself with acrylic / pay sombody to drill the tank 4. pluming 5. stand things i want 1.

contact mike (fishoutawater) on here, he does awesome custom overflows, and drilling at a dang good price. If you haven't drilled glass before I wouldn't try it yourself on a 75 that could be an expensive mistake. http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41643&KW= ------------- 45G w/ leds 15G sump MP10es |
