Hi all. I just got a ProClear 60 rimless setup and am currently in the process of setting it up. I live in an area that's at least 40 minutes from the nearest saltwater store, so even getting water is a challenge. I am not new to saltwater, but my last reef tank was shut down about 5 years ago.
Currently, I have a 75-gallon FW tank with a few angels and tetras; a 45-gallon goldfish tank with a Ryukin, Oranda, and a Fantail; a samurai betta in a Fluval Spec V; and a 5-gallon half-moon pico reef that I just started up for Christmas. That one was easier to fill since it only took one trip to the store.
It's a hobby or a passion depending on who you ask. My avatar is a tuxedo urchin from my previous reef tank, carrying around a mushroom and a "QC Passed" sticker along with a crab shell. He liked hats.
Here's a pic of my empty tank in my living room. Anyone in Person County have an RO/DI I can borrow? lol
