I will decide tonight whether or not I should shut down this tank. If I do keep it, I will get a new skimmer, add a top-notch power bar along with a kill-a-watt meter. Maybe I will give it another go Will decide tonight.

One thing that has helped save money also is sticking to one type of reef. I chose sps. Not that I don't buy alot of sticks. But if I did mixed reef I'd be broke lol

How was the regret factor?

Sorry to hear problems with your tank, I loved tracking your progress
Does it have anything to do with your choice of pumps?
Need to know for future purchases...
Pm me if you want, really would help me

My current suggestion: don't buy anything 2nd hand which goes in the tank unless its few months old.

I somewhat disagree with that. You just need to buy stuff from reputable people. I've always had good luck buying stuff from this site at least.
With that being said ill take that WP40 thingy off of you. I have no use with 3 MP40s but just wanna check it out.
Will you ship?

Reputable...
But the point is that used stuff has a higher failure rate, no warranty and quicker repair cycle than new, no matter how reputable the person is
Everyone has to decide on price vs reliability

Well if your going to buy off of someone that you kind of know and is an active member on here, they're more likely to not rip you off and sell you a piece of junk. Sorry for the hijack maybe we can get back on topic since this is the buy/sell section.

Agreed, this topic is more for the "philosophy of buying and selling" section...
Good luck with that wp40, wondering myself how they perform
