Hello everyone!

So here is a quick update for yall - Im currently in the process of buying a new home and will be moving in next month. I've already have a small "fish room" picked out and cleared by the wife ;) Many of you know that buying a home isn't cheap so instead of a brand-new tank, I will be upgrading to a USED 180g RR tank I picked up from craigslist for a great price. The tank itself has quite a few scratches but holds water (although it wouldn't hurt to reseal it while I have it dry). I will be tracking the progress of the 180/fish room build here and hope to get some great input and advice along the way... Like I said earlier funds are tight so allot of equipment and supplies will likely be used and not very pretty. It will also take some time to come together so bear with me!

Will update more info with pictures soon..

Later,

Mike

Haha, it should be quite the learning experience for me at the very least! This will give me allot of insight and experience for my ultimate dream build one day.

First question I have for everyone: What products have people used to seal room walls and the ceiling from moisture? I want to protect the house best as possible.
