WELCOME!!!!

I'm planning on a mixed reef with softies to start, aspire to possible SPS someday when I get some knowledge and experience. No plans on specific fish, but I'll most definitely be getting a blue tang at some point.

Nice! That’s certainly the smart way to go about it. Good luck!

Hi and welcome to Reef2Reef!

 

[Fish Think Pink]

Bought a used tank setup a few months ago! It's a 270 gallon (84"Lx24"Wx31"H). Really excited to start, but my plan is to play the long game with patience and as my budget allows to make sure its done properly. First step is for me to get the location of the tank in my house finished (just started over the weekend). I'm planning an in-wall tank, 2 sides viewable front and 1 side panel, with my equipment room behind in a wet room. The equipment room has cold water and floor drains so I think it's a great base to build from.

Been reading this fourm for over a year while learning and planning this build. I'm looking forward to conversations and feedback on the many questions I'm sure I'll have through the journey.

Welcome! Glad you joined. CONGRATS on scoring nice used tank! I'll be visiting PA for MACNA next September.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
