Hi everybody! Just wanted to introduce myself since I’ll probably be really active again in the hobby and will bug y’all for advice :p. I got into freshwater fishes back in ‘08 when I was just a kid in middle school. Upgraded to saltwater in ‘13 with a 56 g tank and 10 g sump and then upsized to my setup 64 g tank with a 20 g sump for 2.5 years. It wasn’t until my tank started leaking and crashing that I had to quit the hobby (unfortunately I was also moving at the time). Fast forward to college I was too busy to keep the hobby and away from home. Now, I just graduated and got my first job. I was able to snag a sweeeeet deal for a 180 g (tank canopy and stand) with sump and skimmer for $500 ;Greedy I’ll definitely be asking y’all for advice, there’s so much new tech I don’t know where to start! Can’t wait you discuss my new project with you all! :D

Welcome to R2R! College debt and now reefing debt :) There is some much to help you manage your tank these days. I highly recommend taking your time and doing research on all things before going crazy with the latest greatest gadgets unless you have that dough to spend. You already got the key components for a screaming deal. This community is awesome so post threads and get the ball rolling! We're looking forward to seeing that tank build!
