Brand new to the hobby and am relocating to Saratoga Springs area. Any Reefers in the area?
Welcome to R2R and to the 518 area code. Consider joining our “518 Reefers” group here on the site. You’ll have some nice stores near you in Saratoga. I recommend Benson’s Fish Room in Ballston Spa as a good place to start.

Welcome to r2r,hope all is well.
I've watched that video alot times also .
I decided to go as big as possible without taking my window out completely on 3rd floor apartment so 80 gallon was biggest could risk buying to fit up the windie stairs lol as if didnt fit if went bigger didn't want lose out on money ha ha .thought about a smaller tank but wanted bigger so more choice of fish and other inverts I wanted.
But good luck on your new tank when get it and hope you get great enjoyment from it
