My Tank Thread
Welcome to r2r and back to the salt life!!
Thanks, I used the blocks because I spend a lot of time in a wheelchair and this allowed me to keep the top of the tank a bit lower. I have considered using kitchen cabinet doors (undrilled) to cover the blocks.
I just added Tropic Edin to my list. I have a tentative list of items, which is listed below. Some of the bigger items...like tank and lights...are already ordered; everything else is...still in consideration. Archer is a long time buddy...war buddy...and is way more experienced than me. He lives in Missouri, and I'm just outside Tucson...so all discussions are over the phone/

I have a 210 gallon tank ordered (New York to Southern Arizona): 72x24x29, and have ordered 4 kessill 360we's. Im not sure what the settings will be, or even where to start. This is a ground up build, and while I'm not a beginner, it has been a while; this technology was not available back then. I have also ordered the spectral controller...cause why the hell not. All of that said, I have not decided what exactly will be in the tank...was hoping it would just happen, which is probably a bad plan. No substrate ordered yet, but I love the look of white sand, and have been considering my options. A buddy of mine, with more experience has suggested that the sanding substrate can lead to cloudy tanks...depending on the chosen occupants...so i'm still considering options. The tank is in the living room, and all of the hoses will be ran through a wall leading to my office...limiting all the filtration, and heating crap. If you have any ideas, I can be reached here orat [email protected].
Nice start! Glad to see another Arizona Reefer! I'm in Mesa, and I'm assuming you're south of me, but if I can help in any way feel free to ask!
Welcome to Arizona and Reef2Reef!
I'm in Red Rock, AZ (makes me about an hour and 15 minutes from Mesa) and because the tank i ordered was cancelled, i'm heading to the Ocean Floor tomorrow. I cant wait to get things going again.Nice start! Glad to see another Arizona Reefer! I'm in Mesa, and I'm assuming you're south of me, but if I can help in any way feel free to ask!
