re: Is it wrong to go into a store with no intention of buying anything

I have a Fluval M90 36 total gallons. All in one. Expense isn't so bad after you buy all the crap. Although it is getting time for me to bite bullet on better lighting.

Lol I need to do a tank cleaning and do maintenance on protein skimmer and powerheads today.

Red Sea tanks look sweet. Whats corals do you like?

I probably ask my poor fish store 2 hours of questions over 6 months. I always try and throw them business, but so not competitive on supplies. Have great coral though.

Yeah I have calculated how much all the rock, sand, salt, equipment like powerheads, and RO/DI system would cost to get it all set up and we are looking at about 5 grand. Going to try and negotiate a signing bonus once I officially get my new job. I've already been told I have the job, its just a matter of when the job is ready(its a new position for a team that hasn't been launched yet).

When I had my 16 gallon Nuvo I really only kept soft corals like torches, frogspawns and zoanthids. My stock was 2 clowns, a yellow watchman goby paired with a coral banded pistol shrimp, and an orchid dottyback. Then a cleanup crew with hermit crabs, trochus and nassarius snails, a cleaner shrimp and an emerald crab. That's one reason I want to go big on my next tank, so I can progress and keep some more advanced corals like LPS and SPS. That's part of what I enjoyed, monitoring the water quality and dosing and all of that.
