Goodmorning all. I was pressured into starting a new build. @HotRocks
And I where an integral part of building @4FordFamily Wall tank. Both of these gentleman I have known for the best part of 15 years. 4fordfamily gifted me this Red Sea reefer for two reasons. One I owned many freshwater and with. 1.5 year old little girl I wanteded another but I wouldn’t hear the end of it if I filled it with pumpkin seeds and river wood so he gave me one of his many fish tanks. His daughter was hesitant but she loves my girl and is such a sweetie so was ok with it. Secondly, he paid me in pizza for a two month build that took countless hours, material and stress. Not even good pizza..... papa johns. Regardless her I am with a red sea 170. This will not be a crazy build but I am excited and it will be fun. As you all know these two guys are like pioneers in my eyes. ( even though kyle has been doing it for only 2 years) kyle will be quarantining my fish and I am motivated to put some nice corals in it too. There has been a debate as to what I should get in regards to fish. Or course clowns, urchins, yellow goby, prawn goby, dottyback, blue hippo, kauderns cardinals, but I will try a flameback angel, flame angel, longnose hawkfish, possum wrasse. Possibly a regal depending on how things go. Opinions are like..... everyone has one and most of them stink. All depends on the builders desires. Please everyone..... positive feedback and let’s have fun.

That required so much editing. I know Kyle had something to do with that! :D

Welcome buddy, glad to have you. I didn't gift you anything you worked your TAIL off to help me get my old house ready for sale, landscape both houses, help build my wall tank, and a myriad of other things.

Glad to see you here, thanks for everything, excited to bring you to the dark side! :)

Welcome @Commander86 to R2R. One thing for sure, you need to be a bit more careful in the friends you pick! :eek: If you can put up with Ford, Hotrocks and Papa John's Pizza, you'll like it here. :D :cool: Again, welcome.

Welcome. Well, thank you for the funniest intro I've seen in a while, and for a morning belly laugh over coffee. Glad you're here. Can't wait to follow your build thread. Welcome to the family. And by the way, if you're bent on including some river wood, you can coat it with a 2- or 3-part epoxy and stick it in there anyway. Don't forget that it's YOUR tank.
