Hello fellow reef2reefs! I am new to the forum but have been soaking up its information for months now.
I am in the early stages of my dream tank build: A 300 gallon (72x36x27) in wall with full fish room. The tank will be viewable from the rec room of our finished basement and will be accessible from the rear with a 13’x9’ finished fish room.
The tank has been ordered from customaquariums.com. I should be taking delivery by end of Feb/first of March. The sump is also on order from synergy reef.
The fish room was sheet rocked this week and I have finished building the main structure of the stand.
My previous tanks were a 46 gallon bow front (converted from freshwater) basic softie tank. I then upgraded to a 120 mixed reef with a basement sump room in our previous house. Less than 6 months into that tank we were pregnant with child number 2 and had decided to build a new house. The tank struggled from my lack of attention during the house build and when it was time to move into the new house I attempted a tank move but unfortunately the livestock did not survive. This was disheartening and soured me to the hobby for awhile. Fast forward 3.5 years and I have the bug again! Kids are at the right age to enjoy it with me, life has stabilized, and I am ready to take this nice and slow and fully prepared for the time and money this is going take to be successful!
Here are some pics of the progress of the fish room thus far: (Not much to look at...yet)
