i will be posting a lot more pictures but I am super new to the saltwater community (if that's what it's called). I just got this tank 5 days ago, my fiancé and myself will be adding corals once everything is established. I'm addicted and have literally been to 4 different LFS lol and have hours of conversations with the employees and owners. It's awesome, the people here are amazing and at one LFS they shut down there saltwater side because they are remodeling but after talking to the owner for hours about my reptile hobby (bred many species of snakes/geckos/lizards for a little over 10 years) he asked my help in moving some huge tanks and let me browse there saltwater inventory. He told me he will give me 20% of everything I needed but I asked if instead he could let me leech around and pick up on how he sets up the tanks, plumbs them etc. which was very informative and I enjoyed myself a lot. So I'm excited to see how my tank will evolve. Kind of plain now but people have to start some where :) BTW it's a 29g bio cube with a few extras

Welcome to R2R;)
 
Thanks guys! And yes, I love my projects so DIYs will be fun. Fiancé rolls her eyes every time I have a project hahaha I love to build things!
 
Welcome and nice to meet you. Your in the honeymoon stages and its so much fun. I too have a 29Biocube and its great. There is a lot of good advice here and people willing to help. Research is fun and highly recommended as everyone has an opinion, its consensus that is rare. So take the advice but do your homework too. Patience is hard when you first start out but sometimes standing back and assessing is better than damming the torpedoes. All the best to you, look forward to your development.
 
Welcome and all great advice above. Hope to see more pics and about your adventure in the hobby.
