Alrighty… So, I’ve been out of the hobby for around 10 years and I’m doing it right this time around!
Little background I’m 28 years old, I live in South Florida and got into the hobby of reef keeping when I was around 15 years old. A lot has changed since then so I’m playing catchup with all the new gadgets and such.
Last tank I had was a 30 Gallon Lagoon that I custom build from scratch with my Dad, so I am planning on doing the same with this build but a little larger. I want a tank that is small enough so it can be moved if need be and big enough where I can keep a decent number of corals (Mixture of Softie, LPS and SPS) and have larger fish selection.
This go around I’m trying to not break the bank… as I’m focusing on getting most things second hand and build what I can whilst reaching out to local reefers and buying from them and trading to learn as much as possible. Any Constructive Criticism or pointers is welcome!
So let’s get down to it…..
