Hey from PA

Nate77 · May 1, 2018

Hello
I've been in the freshwater side for 36 years, have had anything from 10 gal up to 220 gal, got out 5 years ago due to my grandmother getting sick and just didn't have the time to take care of the tanks, now that things have settled down been thinking about starting a reef , I probally shouldn't admit this but when I was 12 I did start a 10 gallon saltwater tank for some sea horses and stars , went ok until i topped off with saltwater by the time I relized my screw up it was to late , looking at getting either a 180 or 300dd or a custom 6ft x 30in.
What got me to join is the build that gyerfat has going on. Seen a 5k gallon concrete build thats insane didn't know there are others out there doing this.
Have fun
Nate

welcome nate so I think you should do a 5001 gal build.put an auto tope off on the new tank.the once alive seahorses will appreciate it.
