Hi Everyone!

New reefer here, I have been around forums on and off since 2007 or so. At the time I had several freshwater tanks and wanted to go saltwater, so I started reading and hung out on reef central. In the middle of planning, I found out that both my young children had autism so everything was focused on them. Now my children are 16 and 19 and are planning for college. We have moved to a wonderful home more in the country, and with the support of my hubby I can make my saltwater dreams happen. I am now reading and planning again.
Wow, the hobby has changed and come a long way.

My little box of ocean is a 58 gallon oceanic tank (26Lx18Wx24D) with a 40 gallon breeder sump. I will have the sump in the basement directly under the display. I will be drilling the tank and have an Exotic Marine overflow ordered. This will be a mixed reef tank and I hope to take pictures and post a diary of my tank as I go along.

Thank you ahead of time for the help from the forums, past advice and future!
