Hey guys! I am finally setting up a reef tank after 8 years or longer of not having a saltwater/reef tank. To make a story short, I was young, impulsive, and shut down my tank after some really bad luck. I sold off all my equipment and never looked back. In the end, I knew once I moved out of my parents house, got older, and bought a house, I would get back into this hobby at some point. Fast forward to right now, my wife and I built a beautiful home, and finished the basement after living in it for just over a year. I am now possibly a month from getting my new Waterbox 220.6 setup wet and being a part of my dream hobby again. I just got to figure out how to get this beast into my basement, but almost got that covered. I will be updating this thread with everything I have done/have so far over the next few days.
