I'm back!

[kablamo]

Well, I don't know if any of you remember me, but I am back now, I have enough money saved up this time to do things right, and I am not going to get anything until I have my entire system planned out.
The problem with the last tank is that I was a beginner and it was a 20 gallon. Way too small and too much fluctuation.
I would like to do a full on reef tank in a reef ready system, at LEAST 50 gallons, preferably closer to 80 or 90. I've been breeding african cichlids for the last few months, so I wouldn't mind trying clownfish.
Anyway, that's about it for now, How much could I find a used 80-90 gal reef ready tank with stand and canopy? Anyone know?

Ok, here is my setup (eventually)
oceanic 70 gall bowfront reef ready $266.99
oceanic black stand $173.99
Model 1, or 2 Sump Kit whichever will fit in the big stand $?
Giesemann Nova II MH 250 w metal halide pendant with 20k bulb $429.99
Eheim 1262 $129
Euro Reef RS5-2 skimmer $219
must have livestock:
pair of maroon clowns
aux livestock:
5x green chromis
1x royal gramma
1x sixline wrasse
hopefully a host of corals and anemones
Of the items listed here, I have none, but hope to get very soon,
What I do have, is 50 lbs of what used to be live rock, and is now base rock, about 50 lbs of sand, also, used to be aragalive or something.
Anyway, I guess that's about it, if anyone has any better ideas about livestock or any additional entries, or advice, please let me know!

Kablamo i like the black sand

ahh its crappy freshie gravel because the 96 w of PC is too bright for the africans and it freaks em out, so I got rid of the sand for the time being and am using black gravel, (it's easy to vacuum, since I'm doing fish only.)
