Hello All, new here but I’ve been reading threads trying to learn for sometime . Never did a build thread before but I figured what the heck! To explain, I am very use to fresh water and had some aggressive tanks over the years, mainly piranhas. I use to help my mother with her saltwater tanks when I was a kid back in the 80’s but it was water mixing and simple HOB filters back then. That time was special for us, “our time”. Fast forward to today, I have a six year old and I want him to have that same time and experience that I had. I’ve always wanted a saltwater tank and recently I was practically gifted 2 tanks, a 180 gal that’s drilled and a 250 gal that is not drilled. When I say gift I mean I paid for them but the price was so low that it feels like it was a gift! I also received 300 lbs of liverock from a frag system with no fish. The 180 holds water and was in use but one of the inner seals looks like it could use a fresh seal so thinking of redoing the inner seals. The 250 gal holds water also just needs a good cleaning, it also came with a metal stand but it was out in the elements so it needs some work. Not sure what type of fish I want but I do I want a mixed reef.
