Think I'll do my 55 Gal since it'll be less equipmet than the last tank.

Tank: 55 Gal 1990 tank bought used on ebay for $400.00. Came with overlfow, Wet/dry, skimmer, livestock, Cheasy Strip light, liverock, and livesand.

Lights: Upgraded to 65W PC 50/50 bulbs and ballast. Ballast cost $25 x 2 to power all the lights. The bulb were purchased on Ebay 12 for $40.00. Got an awesome deal great buy for the spares too.

Circulation: I chose to use a Squid SCWD ($30 Ebay) ran inline to my Mag 9.5 ($40 Ebay) return pump on 1 in plumbing.

Filtration: 80 lb of liverock (40 from Japan $300, 40 from fiji $220), 50 lb Livesand, 300 gal Wet/dry filter with 15 lb of bioballs.

Other equipment: Red Sea Berlin tubro skimmer, lifegard 25W UV sterilizer ($140), Red Sea Ozone Generator ($40).
