Long time lurker

burnetb1 · Mar 4, 2019

Hello R2R! Ive been lurking around the forum for a while now and decided its time to make an account. I have been reefing for around 6 years now. I started with a 30gal hex w/ HOB filter and skimmer from Clist. I added a 10 gal sump and fuge. Still not satisfied, transferred once again to a 55 gal with 20 gal sump and 10 gal fuge. Im a big DIY guy and have made many of the components for my reef, including custom parts using my 3d printer. I am currently working on a new stand build and will be moving the tank up from the basement. Once that is complete I will create a build thread for my system.
Im happy to be officially joining this community, as I have been reading post on here for years. This is a great community of people that has taught me a lot and I hope that I can contribute what knowledge i have gained to the new reefers out there.

From one former lurker to another Welcome into the light and R2R.
Look forward to seeing your build and your diy solutions. A buck saved anywhere on the tank can be spent on something in it :)

Thank you everyone. Here is a pic of my tank currently. Don't mind the mess under the tank.... Currently building a new stand to fix that. Had a near tank crash in November and ditched my sand. Still working on stocking as I lost 3 coral colonies.
The frags of frogspawn covering the bottom of the tank are now happy at my LFS waiting for new homes.
