Yeah, i'm not too certain about housing requirements for the aggressive tank, but i would think that it's a little on the small side. At any rate, glad you're willing to justify the costs. If there was any advice i could give to you, it's to not tally up the money you've spent, you'll be disappointed, and to not be afraid to spend the extra money to get what is best.

P.S. I run a 250W MH over my 40Breeder and have no heat problems what-so-ever. GL and congrats on a great start!

Thanks Sharuq,
I actually did consider a Lionfish for the fowler tank.
This fowler tank will probably end up being a mixed lps / sps tank as it will eventually have a a 36" 4 bulb tek fixture over top of it.

Im just not sure what kind of predator fish I can keep in a 50 gal. Need to do some more research

I should have a new protein skimmer showing up right away thanks to a fellow Canreefer.

I decided to go with a Tunze 9015 as it fits in the small space I have available in my sump. It is rated for up to 528 gal and Im hoping it should fulfill all of my skimming needs on my soon to be heavily stocked 90 gal.

http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/tz...er+-+9015.html

I am now also in the market for a 48" combo lighting fixture and am planning on getting the fowler up and running the moment I find something suitable.

I also have a finger coral (colt coral) that has decided to frag itself. I would be able to give you some of these if you are interested. In fact I would be more than willing to give away frags of the finger coral if anyone in the central alberta area is interested.

Ill take some pics of the new skimmer when it arrives

Also I replaced the bulb in my turbo twist UV sterilizer today.

Cheap thing only lasted 5 months and needed to be replaced. I am happy to have UV sterilization again though
