Ya, the livestock was not very impressive though I love sailfins. I was going to go see it. Apparently he and I did business on something, maybe not saltwater before as he had my number in his phone. From the sounds of it the equipment is worthwhile. The tank I guess has some custom overflow I dont understand hes sending pics of, and apparently all the pumps is because it has a closed loop system.
Said I couldnt take anything live or running, just interested in equipment, (was hoping to get a # since someone here said 5k for everything.) Wanted me to come by, see what I did/did not want. (Was going to skip the huge skimmer as im not sure I want to do basement plumb).
Sadly, confirmed dimensions, and the biggest door I have in my house is like 35 even with hinges etc off, vs 40 high....
FWIW lighting wise, I think LED or LED + T5 woulda been fine for a mixed reef with rockwork that goes fairly high. SPS's at the top, softies down low etc. But yeah not ideal if you wanted a pure sps forest.
