Monthly upkeep costs for your system?

[Ryan]

If you want to upgrade in the future I would set up a current tank with an upgrade in the future.

Go LED and use pendants like the AI SOLS or Vegas, or GHI (expensive but they seem to be the best out there). Then when you upgrade you can just pick up another unit or 2.

Go with a Ehiem 1262 return on this tank. When the upgrade comes double up.

The skimmer look for something thats a little big for your tank. Vertex just came out with a new Skimmer that should do 40-250 gallons. Might be something to look into.

Otherwise the rest of the equipment (Controller, Doser, etc) and live stock transfers over easy.
