Hello,
I'm starting into the saltwater hobby full steam. I've had freshwater aquariums in the past but have held off on saltwater for any number of reasons, but ready to give it a go. I have an Innovative Marine Nuvo Peninsula 200G INT on order. I ordered a Peninsula as I plan to open up a non-load bearing wall in my entryway and flush mount it. The other side is my home office where I hope to enjoy the tank daily. My home has a crawl space, but as luck would have it the main beam runs directly under the center of the tank. I still plan to sure up both sides with support jacks. I'm going to build out a RODI/Saltwater mixing station in my garage and plumb both RODI and salt to my tank under the house. I also plan to have a drain under the tank. A lot of learning and work ahead, I'll try to do a build post (I think I read that in the welcome message) as I progress.
