Hello all,

I have a 29 gallon bio cube that I started 2 years ago and I'm in the process of building a stand for an 80 gallon reef ready tank. Seems like the only way is to go home or go bigger, so I'm going bigger. I attended the MACNA show last weekend and bought my radions, and just need a return pump and a power head. Once I get my 80 wet and cycled I will move some of my rocks and livestock from the bio cube. Will also be setting up a 34 gallon reef ready frag tank and currently have a 20 gallon used as a QT. I'm fond of zoas, palys, colorful rock flowers and the easier SPS.
I retired 3 years ago and spent 36 years in the offshore oil industry off the coast of Louisiana. I spent 3 years in the Army from 69 to 72 with a tour in Viet Nam. Yes that makes older that most, but love this hobby and the fact that I can get valuable information from this forum. Happy to be here.

Thanks. I checked out you build thread on to QT and it is awesome, pocket screws will make it super strong.
