Hello from East Tennessee

Hello my name is Ben. I'm from the Knoxville area of Tennessee and brand new to the saltwater world. I have been into fresh water for quite some time but recently made the switch to salt after my mom bought and has had me do all the building and maintenance of her 125 gallon salt. I have been lurking here for a couple months learning a fair bit. I purchased a biocube 16 to upgrade my 10 gallon little test tank from. I am now considering a 100 gallon rimless tank for my living room since I kinda feel I have got a grasp on the Hobby's jist. I'm attaching some pics of my little bio cube and welcome any comments!

Welcome! Glad you joined

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). Entirely up to you, but if you do get that 100g you're considering then you might want to have two threads (but you don't get two badges).

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
