Hello R2R community! I have come to this site many times over the years for guidance. I have had a 30 gal AIO for the past 10 years. FOWLR. It went through about 4 moves over the year and lots of neglect due to life. About a year ago I started to get a little more involved. Upgraded my lighting and was able to score some free softies from a buddy to dip my hand in keeping some starter coral. It has gone ok, still had life get in the way here and there. Well early this year I was gifted a 60 gal rimless cube tank that had sprung a leak from an LFS from my uncle. I had always wanted one. Needless to say, this tank started me on the path of resealing the tank, installing overflow, plumbing & building my own stand. Took me probably about 3 months to get it completed and purchase all the equipment needed. Tank started cycling in mid May. Cycle finished in late June. Going on 2 1/2 months now. Only have 1 fish, some CUC, LPS frags, mushroom, and zoa frags at the moment. Slowly but surely I will get there. I am planning to run the Triton method. Just wanted to say hello! I went ahead and attached some photos of my tank build. Happy Reefing!
