Tank Upgrade !?!

[Northstar24]

I found another tank(Hagen) in very good condition..going to check it out tonight.

1) I was just doing a rough estimate and the local LFS sells the Aqua C EV-120 Protein Skimmer Package for 416.95...the site is J&L Aquatics

Can you guys recommend any other websites that are reliable and i wont have to mail the item to U.S for warranty purposes?

2) I have 35 lbs of live rock right now and I would need to increase that to 90lbs. thats an added cost of around 350..is there a cheaper alternative?

Dry rock, you can get it for $2-3 per pound. You could also look on Craigslist I've seen live rock sold pretty cheap by people leaving the hobby

How about protein skimmer? Which one is better...aqua c or reef octopus?

Most people will probably tell you the Reef Octopus would be the way to go
