Hey there fellow reefers. I tried the salt water gig about 10-12 years ago with a nano set up on the end my basement bar. While I thoroughly enjoyed it while it lasted. I soon realized it was a crap load of work to try and maintain such a small reef tank and it actually cost me a small fortune and I got away from it for quite awhile. But after a lot of research I’m gonna give it a go again. I recently purchased a used 125 teef ready tank, stand. Homemade sump and return pump with controller for what I thought was a stark of a deal. I paid only $100 for all of it. Got it home and started cleaning. Filled it up last week to leak test the tank and let it set for 4 days with no leaks. Cleaned and repainted the stand and bought new hardware. Found the tank to be leak free and am super stoked to get into the reefing hobby once again with success in mind
