    I have a few options here. I've finally got my TLF phosphate reactor up and running with BRS GFO. My corals/fish/condylactis are all looking great and actually beginning to color up a little under my LED's. I have even finally gotten my clown goby eating on bloodworms (trying to get him on other things also). The tank is looking good, and now I am in a predicament on what to buy. I recently altered my stand and removed the middle brace so I have a 20 high sitting inside. I could either:


    1) Buy an Eshopps over flow/return pump/get glass baffles cut and setup a sump for the first time....

    2) i have a few burnt out LED's that I could replace/pickup some more colors and another driver to bring out the corals more. From time of purchase to arrival its about 3 weeks.

    3) Make a livestock order. This would include rock flower anenomes/corals/inverts/fish. Likely would be ordered from Reefs2go.

    4) Buy an RODI from BRS. I am currently using RODI I pickup from my LFS. Its 45 cents a gallon and 10 gallons lasts me about 2 weeks at least.


    Since my livestock is doing well and corals look good, I am really tempted to make a livestock purchase with overnight shipping. I am hesitant though because a while back I had some invert deaths/my royal pin cushion urchin just died (due to salinity swings I think). So i kept telling myself that i wouldnt buy livestock till i had a PRO setup, but I am getting tempted since things look so nice!!!!
