New to the Hobby - Reefer 425 xl on the Way...

[kswan]

Hi everyone,

My name is Kevin. I'm new to reefing and after months of research I just ordered a Reefer 425 xl! I'll start a build thread once progress is being made with the setup. The plan is to do a mixing station in the basement below the tank. I'm going to plum lines for water changes and ATO. My goal is create a low maintenance setup with redundancy wherever possible. I have already learned so much from this site. Thank you all and I can't wait to get started...

That fun should be in quotes !!

You will love the tank! I have enjoyed mine. Great first tank. Do research on equipment and keep it in the budget ( my wife is watching)

Having the mixing station in the basement, and being able to do water changes and ATO from there, will make the tank so much more enjoyable!

Hi Kevin,

Welcome to the forum!
The plan sounds great
What fish do you plan to have?

Welcome!

I haven't settled on the exact fish that I would like. Probably start with a pair of clowns and move up from there. I really like the inverts. Something about watching them picking at the rock is very interesting to me. Anything that will be comfortable in a 90 gallon tank and is considered "easy" is fair game...

Welcome to R2R!! Nice tank to start with!!!

Welcome to R2R! Looking forward to your build thread.

I went ahead and started a build thread. I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly but here is the link. I'm new to forums... Thanks again for all the nice welcome messages.
