Hamtramck or what is left is where I was hatched.

You still in Michigan or bugged out all together? I moved away for college and came back but it's hard to stay here after being gone for several years in the south . Winter is brutal . Lol
 
So longtime freshwater guy going to start converting my old 40 breeder into a saltwater fowlr at the moment with the intent of LPS corals a year or so down the road. I don't want to dive straight into the deep end right from the start. I figure learn the basics and then expand as I begin gaining knowledge and experience. First step is moving my substrate and fish to a new Nano tank for my kids room and then start cycling a tank. My 40 breeder isn't drilled for a sump so I'll likely go with a HOB Skimmer to accompany my AC110 HOB Filter. So at this time I'm adding lights, powerheads and will be getting Live Rock and sand started this weekend.

Been lurking around for a bit so now is the time to start playing in the sandbox with all the cool people on here.

welcome,like that your taking it slow

We are moving so my taking it slow has become significantly slower. Waiting for my tank and stand to have a new place to land before moving forward. We get possession of our new home on 9/3 so I'll be starting my fishless cycle. I'm aiming for 50lbs of live rock to have a good foundation for bacteria and natural filtration for my 40 Breeder.
