I've been out of the hobby for 6 years. Before that I kept salt water tanks for about 15 years. I completed my setup and tried to keep it cheap. I went to Craigslist and found a 75gal cabinet style setup with a canopy. And also 75pounds of dead live rock. I bought LED lights, a skimmer, some live sand and the list goes on. Currently have 11fish and 5 small frags. It is really nice to be back in this hobby. I need help with aquascaping and want to stabilize my PH.
 
Careful with the dry rock, I went through my journey of leaching it from phosphates till it was (somewhat) stable. Awesome! What style of rock structure are you going for?
