I'm so lucky and Happy!

Just had to share my joy with the board. I'm fairly new to this hobby and as most of you have said once you become successful and start seeing a beautiful tank come to life this becomes addictive and way too expensive! I just got lucky! I bought a used (from someone I know) 75 gallon with stand, hood, filters, lights, powerheads and rocks for $200!!! I'm so excited!!! I am going to take this tank very slow compared to the other. Of course I didn't rush the smaller tank but I figure it will be months before I put fish in the new tank. I'm going to add the sand and then start buying lr a little at a time because we all know that it isn't cheap! I figure I will just add the corals and rocks over the next few months and eventually add the cleanup crew but it will take a while to get this one up and going. Funny to be so happy when you know you're on your way to being broke from the fish addiction!!

that's how we got our 75gl, bought it used from the lfs, didn't have any lr though, just one big piece, it was $200(tank, stand, 2 filters, 3 fish, 2 heaters)
good luck with it!

You are lucky! Change your name to Lucky Girl! And you're on the right track with taking things one step at time. When I first set up my reef, the LR and LS, I didn't anything else for 3 mos! And I really didn't need to. Watching the reef tank come to life was entertainment enough.
