Hi from Crystal River FL

[PSUMIKE]

Took advantage of a slow weekend and went to Reefapalooza yesterday. I was completely overwhelmed. I have a 75g Reef tank in my marina that I have professionally maintained. The same guy put in a 110 (maybe 125) gal fresh water tank in my gift shop. They help entertain children and let the parents shop longer. Have always liked aquariums and had some fresh water in the past but was too intimidated by salt water (let alone reef). As kids got busy with after school activities and layout of house - the aquariums got neglected and eventually went dry. I insisted we keep them and hope to get something set up at house now that settled in FL. The house has a lot of windows and sliding doors so I am concerned about location and algae growth. At any rate - I am here to learn and hopefully get motivated :-) Mike

I have seen some threads were some member use the mirrored ski light for lighting there tanks supplement with LED's, and there are other members that keep there tank by the windows. I am sure you will get answers to your question if and when you are ready to ask in the forms. RAP was a good show, and welcome to R2R

Welcome aboard! Keep tanks near window with direct sunlight will give you algae problems in the future.

Welcome to R2R! I have in the past put window tint up to protect the tank from natural light. When there is a will, there is a way
