Hi all new guy over here, but not new to the hobby. Currently building a 30g shallow right now, Ive made all the rookie mistakes of starting out too small(2g), cheaping out on everything and regretting it. So with this build im doing everything right. Im a perfectionist and this is going to be my greatest work of art. ive put a lot of time and thought into and will be posting a build thread as soon as its finished and I think youll really like it!

acrylic scrubber box and filter sock box, I wont be running the scrubber in here now tho due to good advice received here on R2R that I would loose pods in the filter sock. will also be building custom acrylic sump now to accommodate the scrubber draining into a live rock section.
