Hey Folks

[MikeSm]

Mike from Northern Virginia here. Just wanted to say hello!

Getting started with saltwater, very slowly. I will read up on what's already been written to educate myself. I don't have a ton of experience with the hobby, but in a previous life I was quite the avid diver and thought this would be a great experience for myself and kids. Look forward to this!

Thanks all. I wound up picking up a discounted 75 gallon tank from the town pet store. It's a MarineLand, it seemed decent. I've been tracking a list of things I've purchased and are on the way if anyone is curious. I think one issue with my town water is its copper content among other things, so I also picked up an RO/DI filter for the initial fill. I'll try and get to that after putting together some rocks over the weekend.

Filter: Fluval FX4
Heater: 2 x Eheim 150 watt Jaeger's
Lights: Current USA Orbit Marine 4103
Powerhead: Hydor Koralia Evolution 750
RO/DI: Bulk reef's 75 GPD

I'm tracking a number of other odds and ends but as I said, I'm proceeding slowly lol.
