The LAST big upgrade

The unit itself was $950+tax. Install will be done ourselves with the help of a friend and our good buddies Beer.

I'm sure there will be some more parts we need to buy but that was just the unit itself. I also bought the one with advanced filtration because I have a lot of shedding pets. The regular unit without the pet add ons was between 800 and 850.

Which HRV unit did you end up getting?

The build is coming along nicely...I'm just around the corner from catching up with you though.

Not a clue. I just paid for the sucker and made metion of my excessive pet managerie. I also bought the beer to pay for the installation, but quality control took a few too many bottles for inspection purposes.

You know checking for poison and all...

Just as I was about to hit the submit button on a lighting order I had an epiphany; why am I buying MHs and T5s if I have intentions to take my tank to LEDs.

So now what? Do I just buy 3 MH bulbs for "basic" lighting and heat and go with that while I finalize my LED decisions? I have all the parts for MH and T5 lighting already, all I need is new/replacement bulbs.

Thanks for the hrv info.We have pets as well so that helps. When I had my little 110 gal tank the windows in the winter were always iced up. Really need to address that problem before I fill up the new tank.

I'm sad, I can't support Eco-Reefer.com for my rock purchases. I've gotten rock from them in the past and it is beautiful looking stuff, amazing, great shapes, sizes, etc. Unfortunately the shipping is really expensive, $80 on 150lbs.

Maybe they'll run another free shipping promo or something.

That's not true. Unless your handle is "lastlight", it ends when you shut the tank down.
