Hello from San Antonio!

Great looking stand!

Hope you don't like that carpet :p

Hahaha And what’s that supposed to mean?

Not a knock on your tank or setup.. just a new tank and all the chores. Servicing your skimmer, taking out rocks, acclimating fish and corals, water changes. If you can keep the saltwater off the floor, you're a much better reefer than I!

I gotcha.... Shoot man, I haven’t even really thought about that! I’ve got a pretty good carpet steam cleaner. Hopefully that’ll do the trick.
 
Greetings Everyone! I’ve been reading R2R threads for 6 months now, to help me on my 210 gal reef tank that I’m building, and just joined today! I’ve found so much helpful info on here and am already thankful for this community. This is my first saltwater aquarium, so I’m 100% positive I will need more help .
So far, my budget conscious set up is as follows: Used 210 gal Aqueon tank, self built stand, Shadow overflow, Elite Aquatics is building me a custom 70 gal triton method style sump & ATO, Simplicity 320 DC protein skimmer, and Orbit Marine IC pro marine bundle for automated lighting and pumps. I’ve got a loooong ways to go before it’s up and running, but I look forward to building the rest with this community’s help.

Thank you, Dusty! I’ve been to a few of the LFS’s out here, and the only one I’ve really liked so far is elegant reef. Do you have any other recommendations? I’m directly West of SeaWorld, outside the loop, and haven’t found anything close to me.:(

Elegant Reef is my favorite by far, next up is Saltyfish Aquarium.
 
Welcome!

Is Aquarium Designs still in business? I use to live in the area and spent plenty of time in their store :)
