Ok, I think the time has finally come to start a build thread. I'm a bit self-conscious about posting something like this considering I've never had a reef tank before and my freshwater experience is pretty far distant at this point. But I have found every build thread I've read so far pretty useful, even small ones that die out. So, maybe I can give a little back since this community since it has been really helpful to me so far, plus it feels like the best way to solicit advice when it hits the fan .
I'm not sure what the thread will become, but I can pretty reasonably promise that it won't be full of the latest whizzy cool equipment. I am on a shoestring with a house full of kids and other pets. I do plan to attempt some DIY projects as I can, like possibly a ReefPI controller and maybe other things.
Finally everything has progressed to the point where it might be more enjoyable than watching a glacier grow ... I am getting close to some critical mass on the build, to where I can't back out. I will try to get this thread caught up to the present day throughout the weekend. Here goes!
