had to post a new part as i'm using ps3 so i'm limited to writing.
anyway comes with hang kit and 3 seperate cables (wich i was after 1 for halide and 1 for leds and 1 for the neons)
My live rock cost me $531 for 40kg i have 15kg allready in another tank so i should be par on live rock.
my RO unit cost me $121 for a 75 gal per day.
i'll be buying a refrigium in about a month or so.
thats it so far i used us dollers that i used a cash converter as i'm from the uk. so took me a while to convert lol so a total of $3,000 ish has been spent. phew soon i'll be buying the live stock once matured. pics will be here once i have my light system and other items here and ill be doing a diary. on the appropiate (need to work on my spelling) forum.
