    with shipping i think the total price will be closer to $300 or mid $300, i'm not looking forward to the cost of what the shipping fee for the lighting will be

    so i just got back from work and went to get bloodworms from petsmart and decided to see what kind of equipment they had. They had the heater for $31 they didn't have the marineland 400 but they had the 350 and higher ones and the prices were between $70-80

    so i think dr foster and smith is still cheaper than petsmart but i will have to add on the shipping which is of course more expensive but i'll still go with dr.'s as they have the powerheads and the right filter that i will need

    also, be sure to check for coupon codes for them, so times you can luck out and score one which basically will pay for your shipping!

    So i just bought 2 maxijett 1200 powehead, marineland emperor 400 power filter, and visi therm stealth heater. The total was a whole $157 with $14 shipping. I decided to not use cupons but this was a lot cheaper than i originally thought i could of bought my lighting today but i decided i didn't want my credit card going up to high so i figure i'll wait a bit to pay this off then buy the lighting. I should get the equipment in no later than 7 business days

    if you got it from foster and smith, they're very easy to deal with so I wouldn't worry too much.

    ok i think it will be a tight fit on the back of the tank between the protein skimmer and the filter, but i think it should work but i'll have like no empty space on the back of the tank. Lol i've been looking at corals all night i'm so excited with this tank. I'm going to risk putting corals in the tank and see how he does. I think i've caught the saltwater bug, i just hope he doesn't eat the corals.
