Welcome Mike! Sounds like you already got a tip on a skimmer. If you don't find the info you're looking for, you might try posting in the General Equipment, Hardware, Filtration forum. There's been a lot of talk lately about the therapeutic effects of reefing. Hope it helps. It really helps me.

Thanks for adding me to the group. My name is Mike. I am starting a fish only tank right now but plan to make the move to reef. I have a 93 gallon take and running a fluval 405 for filtration. Would like some help with slowly upgrading my tank to a reef tank. I have no space under mytank for a sump. Was looking at going HOB for my skimmer and refugium. Can someone give me some pointers on what would be the best equipment to get. I'm on a budget and I am using this hobby to help with my PTSD. Anyone recommendations would be appreciated.

Welcome,
If your a service member or a Vet, Thank you For your Service, I also enjoy my tank as helping me with my PTSD ( service connected)

That being said
Look here for HOB refugiums

I don’t like to recommend HOB skimmers though

Hi Mike!

Welcome to R2R! I’m so happy to hear that you’re going to be using this hobby as a way to help your PTSD— my Vietnam veteran father did the same & it brought him so much joy. I know you are going to love it.

Thanks Gonzo. I did 13 years in the Navy. I'm trying to find ways to help with my PTSD without using meds. I will definitely bounce ideas off of you. Thanks brother

Welcome to the forums! You'll definitely be able to find a LOT of info here, there's a ton of newbie-centric sections on the site, including general questions and equipment, as well.

Welcome to the club!!!! you'll like it here! My brother in law was introduced to reefing to help with his PTSD and it works! then he snaked me into it and i'm hooked as well!!!! My wife as noticed a big change in me as well after we started our reef tank. I am able to de-stress and become grounded when I get home from a stressful day in the shop (customers and clients take a toll sometimes). I wish I could have started sooner, but i'm here for good though!

you'll have some fun here! and you WILL learn a lot!
