    I’m very late on this thread, but I can tell you first hand it is a good system. I have had one for 16 months and I have not had to replace anything except bulbs. I did replace the skimmer with a Deltec, but I think I would have been fine if I kept the stock skimmer.
    You will almost certainly need a chiller though. It comes with additional fans to help with cooling, but it still got up to 82 degrees during the summer without a chiller. Plus the additional fans cause a ridiculous amount of evaporation. My Kole Tang has gone rogue over the past couple weeks and I am having a heck of a time catching him. I think he may finally be bored in the 65 gallon tank, so you may want to re-think that. I know I am re-thinking it.

    Id say 8 fish. Would it be possible to keep a 40 or 30 reef going and have this as a fowler? That'd be cool. But expensive! Lol

    What's the current stock?

    Do you have a build thread for your tank? I would love to see it.
