Yes.

I have allowed for a sump. I am also hoping to put it in for about $10, excluding the pump.

I've decided I'm going to go with a predominately SPS tank. I think I want to try for a clam, and maybe a few zoas. My preference would be to go for T5s, but bulbs aren't made small enough for a 20" wide tank. So MHs it is!

Since I'm moving next week I am pretty sure my tank will be off to a slow start. I know for a fact that I won't have water in it for the 15th.

I am also looking to maybe offset some costs by sharing with others, e.g. plumbing, PVC glue, etc.

As long as there is water for the 15th of Nov..

I think it will be chugging along by the beginning of November. Early October is such a gong-show for me when it comes to time. The thing that really pushes me back is that it takes 2 weeks for silicone to properly dry.

I am super excited to try out a few new things in this little system.

I had such an awesome idea for this little tank, but now I am on the fence as to if I can or should participate.

Do it! Do it! Do it! I had my idea completely fall through! Just get a new one! That's what I am doing.

What lights did you plan on BTW? I have been looking into MH but with this budget, its hard! I am considering a DIY from a shop light if I can find a cheap ballast. Then just getting a cheap HQI bulb from ebay

Do it still!
