Miami, to be more exact....;Shamefullyembarrased
My boyfriend surpried me with a 75gal setup on Christmas morning!
Came with, sump, bioballs, lights, reactor, rock, and Im sure Im missing things!
Sunday, we got to work and he raised, and reinforced the bottom to make it 8inches higher. We played and set the rock how we like it, went out to LFS and got bags of live sand, and also decided to get water to set up the tank... 90 gallons later we are fully running / cycling!
I am a saltwater newb, but currently have a 55gal planted freshwater thats mine, and this saltwater will be our family tank as he had a 90gal about 10 years ago. So hes happy to be back!

Love how its us women doing the posting on R2R !! Great gift!!
Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state.
