Unfortunately, they didn't have one in stock so I couldn't get a good idea if it included the everything on the first shop's list. I had also been told that a new 55 gallon reef ready would run around $5,000. So far, the aquariums I have found on internet sites do not have enough pictures or descriptions to tell if they are truly reef-ready and what is all included.
Thanks,
Stephen
