Bio - check -- sales. There is a guy there selling a BK400! It is the sweetest skimmer I have ever seen.
Also for lights, you are going to need 400W halides because of the depth.

I ended up going with the Reeflo orca 250 as my other skimmer. I've read lots of good things about it. As for lighting, I'm probably going to go with 8x48" vho's. Halides would be nice, but I don't need them considering it's not going to be a reef. I'm just trying to keep power consumption down as much as I can. I'll see how the vho's look and go from there.

Thanks, I'm excited too! As for cleaning, I'll be doing that. Hopefully I can get in there without having to cut a section out of my ceiling. I'll just have to wait and see...

Wow, this is getting expensive fast! I've spent over $3000.00 on skimmers, $540.00 on sand, $300.00 on extra live rock, over 300.00 on plumbing, and over $300.00 on misc. stuff. Hope it's worth it...
