Hi Everyone!
I'm new to this site and absolutely new to reefing, although I've wanted to try setting up a reef aquarium for many years. My wife and I recently became "empty-nesters" and she has agreed to let me get my first reef system. I'm currently in the research phase and planning to put up the system this summer. I'm currently watching lots of YouTube videos to become better informed and get ideas about how to set up the system. The BRS 52 weeks series and ULM series have been especially helpful.
We are currently looking at the Red Sea Max S-650 since we both like the look and convenience of that system. We are planning to put it in our great room which is a high traffic area of the house (although away from direct sunlight), so we want it to look great and be a real focal point. I am planning to use the first compartment of the sump for a refugium since the protein skimmer is in the middle compartment.
I would welcome any and all advice about setting up this system. Thanks in advance!
Jim
