hmm if all else fails, these might help 1) tell your wife or gf to SUPER-BAN you from reefing and make sure she'll threaten leaving you behind etc if u ever touch reefing 2) go on a SUPER-spending spree with your credit cards, ie. just swap and sign all your cards and not looking back. Best if can exceed your credit limit, and then u'll be starved from starting to reef at all. haha.. but CHOY these had better not happen bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! come back to the bright side, not reefing is the dark side

*cheers* matter resolved amicably! mere misunderstanding.

hmm to the guy who minus 1 here, pls explain yourself and not just be click-happy and think u'll not be detectable or traceable, thanks. I don't understand how can complementing a guy's SPS growth can be a detestable thing, if there's any unhappiness I welcome you to clear it up with me. cheers. Hijackng: sorry to OT your thread bro.

hey em! your blue tang looks cute! haha,oh n thanks for helping me house some my of stuff in your tank, haven't tank u in person yet. hmm anemone looks nice.. but can cause a havoc if they up the lorry bro,

Thanks No probz bro, just wanna share and pass on the knowledge, hope u'll get your ideal tank!

hi bro, I'm currently using a 2nd hand tank, and here's what might be useful to look out for in addition to your listed examples. 1) Hinges -Might want to check the conditions of it (ie. rust, broken, etc) -Ease of replacement, as some sizes/models are not that common -Physical location of hinges, some are placed in high-stress area (ie. near the hydraulic doors/hoods) and such areas tend to bend the hinges causing it to eventually crack and break away 2) Cabinet Doors - While a full flush door that is 1 or 2 cm away from the floor may look nice at the 1st owner's house, the same cannot be said when you have it transported over to your place, as the tank movers will need to remove the doors and re-fix them up at your house, and sometimes, the alignment may be slightly off, causing the door to be too close to the floor, resulting in your floor being scratched by the door (ie. hard to open as the bottom part of the door is touching the floor). 3) Hood - If it's a full height hood, you might want to check out the hydraulics to make sure that it's still working and the screws (if any) used to secure any light railing parts is not loose etc. 4) Light Hanging System - If the 2nd hand tank uses aluminum hanging system with rails, it is extremely important that you see that the bars are not out-of-shaped (ie. the sliding or hanging part's opening slot is not dented or bloated) - Aluminum and stainless steel parts cannot be used together, (jut remember they are corrosive when used together, any bros/sis care to share more?) ie. the window bolt & nut replacement exercise @ old HDB flats. 5) Silicon - Check if silicon joints have any air pockets or water pockets in them, can be detrimental if you see plenty of air pockets in 1 joint 6) Sump - Check the condition of the glass and silicon, as it is normally thinner than the main tanks' and is more prone to stress from vibrating pumps in sump etc 7) Piping/Joints - Check to see if any part of the pipe is leaking (or having dew-drops) of water 8) Electrical points - Some tanks comes with electrical points/plugs, might want to check if you could reuse them or will have to do a re-wiring etc (can be quite massive if it's an tank that built into the recess of a wall). 9) Lamination/Formica surface - Check the condition of the cabinet/hood's surface, as it is very costly to have it re-surfaced (re-lamination, re-lequer etc) 10) Screws/Nuts/Bolts - Easily 1 of the most overlooked items, some highly corroded screws cannot be unscrewed at all, as the screw head will either break away or the screw head bit will just disintegrate/bald off, leaving the entire screw’s body stuck in the wood. While not completely impossible to remove, but can be troublesome without the right tools. Just some personal experiences I’ve had from my 2nd hand tank, and any bros/sis with some more points that I missed out please share them out as well, so we can all learn what are the things to look out for when taking over 2nd hand thanks.

Friend had called in to close the thread. Thanks for all the interest.
