Finally Here in Philly.

[invisibleman]

I finally arrived in philly after a long summer. Just moved here from California. Going to start school in a few weeks. Wanted to take this time to shop for some materials. I am looking to set up a 25 gallon tall minireef. I had to give my corals from my 20 gallon in CA. :(
Any suggestions on where I can get started to buy a tank, stand etc.? Oh and also, where can I get RO or DI water in Philly to set up the tank? Does Hidden Reef sell water?

For a tank try Aquarium discount in NJ, they have the best tank prices around, as far as R.O./D.I. goes sorry can't help you there, I have my own unit, but World Wide Aquarium in Upper Darby used to sell it, not sure if they still do.

Where are you going to school? Most university biology and chemistry departments have ro/di water on tap; if you ask a professor or TA real nice and tell them what it is for, you can probably get it for free, real close to home.

Invisibleman,

Welcome to Philly! :) The Hidden Reef is a pretty good all-around store... they have decent prices on hard goods, usually a good selection of livestock, and they do sell RO/DI water. HTH.
