    Well right the first time is why I try to pass along what little I know. So are you planning to use RO/DI? The DIY dosing found on here works real good and will save cash

    Yes, eventually I aim to add an ATO. But for the first 8-10mths I'm going to be topping off with RO water from a LFS. Never had any issues with it in the past. So hopefully it all works out. :)
    Again i appreciate any advice, no matter how small.

    WOW! thats steep. I haven't being paying much attention to coral prices recently, mainly due to not being able to buy any. :p
    But from memory the asking price is no were near that... I'll get a better estimate this w/e when I wonder down to the LFS.

    I suppose you win some, lose some. Thats the way life is...

    Good update time, apparently whilst I was asleep hungover from Friday night the fish shop phoned to organize a delivery date.
    Yay! its all ready and coming together :p

    Bad news is know I've got to hit the books and do some more research. :(
    I can think of worse things though, so life is looking bright :)

    Good to here things are going well, hender! :)

    I feel kinda dumb for never until now realizing that an "aussie" coral was from...well, Australia. lol

    Yes things are going brilliantly. A delivery date is set for this coming sunday.
    I can't wait...

    Its an easy mistake to make I suppose. It only seems obvious once you know it though lol...
