Hi All,
My name is Jochen and live in Indianapolis. So glad I found R2R with all these great threads, articles and information for inspiration and knowledge alike. Lurked and read a lot, but recently joined to get feedback on my hardscape. As a kid we always had an aquarium or two around - all freshwater. My daughter wanted an aquarium and that resparked my own interest into this hobby. For a longtime was torn between salt or freshwater, but my wife and I are ocean lovers, so we took the step into the saltwater and reefing world to bring it closer to our land locked location. Not starting small with a 84 X 24 x 30 tank but if you have a dream......

Welcome to R2R!!! Thank you for the introduction - we're cheering for you with the new tank!!!
 
Welcome to R2R!! With those dimensions should be around 265g?
Thank you - Good question! Yes for outer dimension but if you take glass thinkness into account aquarium calculators spit out 240 gallon. So let’s say 260-240 gallon......
