i've already made my introduction in another forum but thought i'd post here as well.

very new to the whole saltwater scene, only experience with freshwater and this was 10+ years ago when i was a kid. i think the biggest i had was a 29g, so the 29g biocube i have now should be one to match! it's an entirely different ball game with so many things to consider. i'm so overwhelmed, yet excited, and there's not even anything in the tank yet, just sand and water! i have a friend who's also into reefing, but when i discovered r2r it seemed like the perfect resource, with very kind people on top of that.

i've also decided to start a YouTube channel devoted to documenting the whole process. i've only posted one boring video as an introduction but there will be more down the road as i develop the tank: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSzr3i2Kq0wMop8kXrES_FA

thanks for reading. lemme know if you have any pointers for a fresh fish like me.

Welcome to R2R!!!
 
thanks guys! i haven't been so obsessed in something like this in a long time, it's scary. i'm already thinking of getting rid of the hood canopy entirely and replacing it with egg crate light diffusers. that way the tank can get more air circulation and thus have a fighting chance against this Texas heat, as well as better gas exchange. i'll go ahead and post on that build forum, jsker, and also post more videos as progress. thanks again, ya'll are too kind!
