Welcome to the obsession. I will try to help you as much as possible with any questions you might have as many on here will. If you get the chance try and stop by Custom Reef Creations in Moore. The owner is very knowledgeable and can get you anything you need. He is currently helping me with my new tank build.

Very nice looking fresh water tank you have by the way. Is that the tank you will be setting up as a reef tank? Do lots of reading is the best advice I can give to you right now. It's not that bad once you get into it just a steep learning curve at the beginning.

Custom Reef Creations has a 75g that i believe is reef ready that may still be available. are you planning a fish only, lps, sps, or mixed reef tank?

I really like the look of a mixed reef! I'll look into the 75

have you looked into lighting possibilities yet? I know there is alot to consider with a new tank but I have found that it is much better to get exactly what you want the first time. No need in buying 3 different types of lighting, skimmers, etc before you are happy. I went from pc to metal halide to led in the course of a couple years and could have saved alot of money if i just bought what i really wanted in the first place.

Yes, I've already planned on doing LED lighting, I kind of have a "thing" for leds.. My truck is completely fitted with them lol. They produce such crisp and clean light, not to mention the different spectrums that seem to be available.. I'm entrusting alot of this in Leigh Anne of "aquariums fts" in Edmond. She' going to help guide me through this first set up!

Hello and Welcome to R2R !! Looking forward to seeing your build come together

leigh anne is a great source of info. i haven't been to her shop in a while because i live on the southside but she has helped me alot in the past. she will not stear you wrong. what led's are you considering. i am thinking about ai vega colors for my new build. i had an ai sol blue on my old tank and loved it. the only problem was red corals lost some of their color which should be fixed by the broader spectrum of the vegas.
