Hi everyone!! finally getting around to my build thread after 6 months lol. anyways i guess ill start from the beginning. I received this 75g tank and stand as a present from my wife and her grandmother back in December of 2015 because i had told her my dream was to start a bigger saltwater tank. as you can see in that background my only experience was from a 10g freshwater tank . the new tank and stand sat for years due to moving plans and other life events. but lets go ahead and fast forward to 2019 when i finally got the motivation to get this tank started. i did a tooooooon of research and i'm not going to lie, i didn't want to start my first reef tank off with this 75g i had, but because it was a present from my wife and her grandmother i didn't want to hurt either of their feelings or get sent to the "dog house" so i got started on my plans. (i also apologize ahead of time for anything wrong with the post as this is my first real detailed thread)
