Hello everyone.

I'm Andy. I'm currently a big planted tank enthusiast, taking a look at saltwater.

My current tank is a WaterBox 6025, running an FX6 as the main filter, and an FX4 driving a Cerges-style CO2 reactor, DIY in-line heater and UV filter. I also made DIY jet pipes out of 25mm OD 304 SS tubing. Lighting provided by 2x AI Prime FWs. Plants are typical Amazonian varieties; swords, vals, emergent Hydrocotyle, and some sort of sedge I got a while back.

I'm learning about all types of aquariums that I never knew existed. This is an interesting direction.

Hey Andy. Glad you have dropped in. You gotta get that kid a saltwater tank or else you may be accused of child neglect or endangerment! :thinking-face: :face-with-hand-over-mouth:

Welcome to Reef2Reef! Can't wait to see what you do if you set up a reef!
