I placed an order or a Marine X 110 with Prime HD lights on Black Friday. This is will be my first tank build and I couldn’t be more excited! I was originally eyeing the x35 I tricked myself further down the rabbit hole. This will become the feature in our living room that was otherwise not utilized. I set up a small tank that will be my QT in that room and already the family has transitioned away from the TV after dinner. Needless to say, can’t wait till my new tank arrives.
I haven’t yet ordered all of my gear as I was hoping to spread out some of the expenses, especially since it’ll be while before I receive the tank. Also wanted to do a bit more research before I make final decisions. Probably important to mention that I’ve been known to be an Over-Engineer as “they” call it, so I fully expect those tendencies of mine to kick in when it comes to this hobby.
Just ordered a Marco Rock kit from Waterbox to begin aquascaping before the tank arrives. Chose dry rock over live rock to avoid hitch hikers in the display tank. I’ve seen some pretty spectacular designs throughout R2R and I’m hoping I can create something just the same.
I am still working on my plan for QT, as everyone seems to have their own approach. Right now I’m struggling with the timeline of QT with respect to the CUC and the first round of fish. I want to get this started before my new tank arrives.
I look forward to sharing my build with you all as it develops and of course, advice and recommendations are always appreciated!
