4. sump doesn't need to fancy, old glass tank, a visit to a glass shop to get some baffles cut and a tube of silicone

Don't forget the skimmer, heater, ro/di unit, salt, test kits, livestock... then the on going costs.

Do tank a look through the buy and sale forums on Canreef lot of stuff and even the odd complete system.

Should also add, see if you can visit peoples tanks. The real world isn't always what the LFS says

Thanks for all the words! Looking for tank in buy and sale......

when you buy equipment for saltwater dont cheap out. Either way youll end up buying the expensive one,either right away or when you realise the cheap one doesnt work right.

Within reason.

Nothing wrong with my ASM G3. Kicking over a extra $1000+ could have had a Bubble King, but is my tank going the crash because I didn't or will I be buying one in the future, not likely.
