First and foremost, writing isn’t one of my strong suits (I’m more of a mathlete) and all I’ve got to say is god it feels good to be a reefer. Here is a little back story, I’ll keep it brief..After selling my 130g reefer xxl during a phase of desperation 2 years ago. I’ve been longing for a tank, not having one made me feel like I was missing something in my life. After finally getting my life back on track I decided to take the plunge again with the encouragement of friends and family. I found a golden opportunity on Craigslist and couldn’t pass it up. It was the perfect size 30 x 30 x 30 totaling 90 gallons. I picked up the tank on Saturday . Over the weekend with the help of my crafty girlfriend, we refinished the stand by sanding it down. I flex sealed the inside of the cabinet, then covered it with a nice coat of plastidip. I then sanded down the exterior and gave it 3 nice coats of rustoleum in navy blue.. so far the equipment I have purchased:
I got hooked up by some fellow reefers on this glorious site. Big shout out to @reefertank for hooking me up with a gently used hydra 52 HD and mount. I was able to procure a Nero 5 for the wavemaker, and a bubble magus curve 3.5 brand new since I won’t be having a heavy bio load in this tank. I ordered a trigger systems ruby 20c literally 5 minutes ago, which I’m fired up about because I think a fuge is essential. I also ordered 40lbs of crushed coral dry sand and 60lbs of Marco rock. I was gifted a vectra m1 by my boss. He will also be helping me hard plumb it this week. Well I feel like I just word vomited, and it may not make very much sense, but I’m ecstatic to be part of a hobby that I care deeply about and to be part of such an awesome community (I know I’ll be heavily relying on y’all for advice and help) I have an idea of what kind of fish I plan on stocking but nothing is definitive yet.
