Curl, The ONLY reason I would suggest to Dave to not hook up the chiller is the KISS principle. He is a newbie and apprehensive about the system, no reason to add extras to the sytem and confuse the issue. Once he feels comfortable with what he is doing, then he can hook up the chiller. That was what I was thinking. Although I agree with you, there are times when I need a chiller.
But you know, I just realized that Dave has a HORRIBLE avatar and makes me wonder what the heck I am doing helping out someone with such horrible taste. Well I guess it just goes to show that he needs ALL the help he can get.

I think that avatar looks pretty good. I mean come on, what looks better than a blue star shining down on the country? Being that it is "america's team" and all hehe!
Good luck if you decide to purchase that setup, it should work out fine for you. There are tons of people on here that are willing to help you out (no matter how late) so just take your time and learn as much as possible.
GO COWBOYS!!!

Yep, $2000 is a great price. I spent way more than that on my first 75gallon tank and that was not even close to as loaded as this 180 of yours will be. You would be foolish not to jump at this deal if you are seriously looking to get into the hobby. You have everything you need right there.

I totally disagree. First off, you learn by doing. All of the reading and planning can't prepare you. Second, the better the equipment and the bigger the tank, the better your chances of keeping fish alive will be. I say go for it!

The answer is no, your not crazy.. Your smart! My first SW tank is a 150 gallon reef tank that is doing wonderfully. Its easy to take care of if your passionate about the hobby. Just keep up on your water changes and everything falls in place. My QT tank is the hard one to take care of. lol. The big tank nearly takes care of itself. The bigger the volume, the easier the water parameters stay in check.

If its a good deal, go for it. It will be alot of work for a first time, but easier to care for and keep the water stable as its a much larger volume of water your dealing with than say in a nano.

Hahaha, thats great! after this year us Cowboys fans are going to have to use our other hand in order to count those Lombardi's!
I would definitely get the tank if you have the money to buy everything and not kill yourself. That is a good deal and you will enjoy it much more if it is all done correctly. Just make sure you dont rush into buying fish and all of that other stuff or you will end up speding a lot of money on fish that just die. Keep reading as well, this site is your friend and will help you out with almost any question you might have. GOOD LUCK!
