Good morning and happy hump day! My name is Lenny, and I'm new to the reefing community and hobby. Well that's not exactly true, I did have a 125 gallon tank about 16 years ago that was a short-lived attempt at a fish-only experience. I'm unsure as to what happened, but there was an outbreak and all of the fish died. I wasn't in a position to recover from it financially to re-stock, so I let it go. Now I'm in a different stage of life with more available time and income, so I'm ready to jump back into the hobby...but this time as a reef tank.
I've been lurking and reading forums on R2R as well as watching YouTube vids to get reacquainted, and I'm very excited! I ordered my new setup from a local fish shop, jumping in head-first with a 210 gallon reef-ready tank (6'x24"x30"), 2 Radion XR30 Gen 5 Pros, 2 Nero 5 powerheads, the Acrylic Habitat Leviathan LR54 sump with separate ATO, etc...I'm certain that I'll need to add more lighting once the tank is ready to add corals, even if the LFS says that 2 XR30's will be fine.
Thanks for letting me lurk around in the message boards and I'm looking forward to joining in on discussions in the near future! Mid-June is the estimated delivery date for the system.
Cheers,
Lenny
