My son is the reason we're here too! Just go ahead and plan on another tank for your 6yo. My son has a Biocube 32 in his room, and is a better reefer than I am.

Hi everyone ! I've actually been dreaming of a Reef tank for 20 years and finally my 6 year old convinced me to get her a fish tank. I was looking at something around a 50 gallon AIO but the more I read the more I wanted a sump so we decided to take decent little trip to a store front instead of buying online just so I could see what they had. I ended up buying a 100.3 Waterbox. 2 Radion XR15's - 2 mp10s - Icecap ato - Ecotech Vectra M2 - Reef Octopus 152s - 60 lbs of Dry rock - live sand and a RODI system. Going to set up the RODI tomorrow and get it making water. I bought all of this and forgot a few things of course … Salt , refractometer , and test kits. Once I unbox everything and plumb everything I will take some pictures. Right now my only plans for stock are a pair of fancy clowns. I'm open to any and all suggestions!

Welcome! I recently set up my first reef tank having moved from freshwater, I have no regrets. This forum is great, you’ll find everything you need. Good luck

Welcome to R2R and the wonderful folks, information and help. ...MMmm Far cry from a beta tank...Very cool!!!
Patience, it is the big word around here, Reefing is patience to cycle, to watch things grow, to keep your tank balanced.
I recommend to everyone joining to create a tank build thread.
1. You get to see where you have started and how much you have grown in this hobby.
2. We love pictures and to see what your doing with your tank.
3. It’s a great learning tool for all of us to see what works and doesn’t . We learn great stuff from each other.
Lastly the only bad question here is the one not asked...

Your daughter has impeccable taste! : D

Thank you for being a part of the Waterbox Family-- we look forward to seeing this build come together. The love of fishkeeping is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children.
