Hi. I’m Tom.
I’ve had aquariums for 23 of the last 26 years. All of them until now have been under 30 gallons. I setup my first reef tank in ’97 and I’ve been away from the salt side since the early ‘00s. My first skimmer was a Skilter 400 which did nothing. I also had a Reef Devil skimmer that a friend gifted me that I couldn’t use because the pump would boil the water. Between my pumps and cooling fans my tank sounded like a jet engine.
I’m finally getting back into the salt side. I’ve wanted to go larger, but I wasn’t going to do it until I had the room to setup a proper RODI, mixing station and a way to eliminate, or at least minimize carrying buckets. I’ve setup a RODI & mixing station in my basement and I can pump top-off or NSW water upstairs.
I’ve setup an Innovative Marine 75 Int. I’ll post the details on a build thread in the near future.
While I'm newly registered, I’ve been lurking for years. I want to say thank you to everyone. The information and collective knowledge of the members has been invaluable. I would not have been able to setup my system without the help of everyone here. Sincerely thank you to all of you.
