What would you buy???
If you were fixing to buy another tank for a reef, about 100gals in size and money wansn't an issue, what would you buy as far as moniters and controllers, I mean everything from what name brand skimmer to what kind of heater.

Neptune Aqua controller III pro -
Bubble king skimmer, deltec, or tunze current USA chiller 1/4hp get a nice finnex heating element and run that off the neptune. Tunze auto top off. Schuura Ca reactor. Tunze wavebox 2 tunze 6100 (maybe 1 or 3 depending on what you plan to keep) I'd probably get the tank drilled for a closed loop also but Im a small polyp stony guy  good luck! Brian

2nd the Tune ATO and wavebox and 6100's.
Im voting for a EuroReef skimmer, rated at 300ish. ...the rest is dependant on what your gonna keep. ...you probably dont need ALL that equipment, but its nice to have. Id also get a pinpoint monitor.

I would have to ask what kind of reef before answering...softies, SPS, mixed, LPS, zoos, etc.
Equipment changes according to the needs of the inhabitants IMO.

No lottery just going to get a new reef for new house and buying everything I need ( ya'll recommend ) when I set it up. Got new job, be away from home more often and I want to maintain good levels with as little as possibility for my wife to check while I'm gone. Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

I bought the RO/DI unit from melevsreef.com Thats all I have except an empty tank. I am going to also set up a large sump and refugium for the tank. Just want to do what I stated earlier. I work off shore and used to work 30 on 30 off but now I work 30 on 15 off. I want all the moniters and controllers I need to try and make it as self sufficant as I can. My friend stops buy and checks on things when I am gone but he is busy so I don't want to ask him to come over so much when I''m gone. Thanks again for any and all help with picking out items to buy.
