Hello Everyone,

Coming back to the reefing community after a 12 year hiatus.

Just ordered a Waterbox 45.2 and a few items from BRS. My goal is to do a simple Softy/LPS aquarium.

Still need to order:
- Rock/Sand/Salt
- Reef Octopus Classic 110 SSS 5"
- BRS RODI

Welcome back! Things are looking good, Waterbox is a favorite. Share your build in the build thread when you start the tank setup.
 
Welcome to R2R, looking forward to seeing this tank at up :)
 
Good News.....the tank and all of the equipment came in.

Bad news....I am heading out of town for a few weeks so there's going to be a slight delay in setting up all of the equipment.

So, here's a few pictures of I found of some old tanks and the current one where it currently sits.

Quick question for those running AI Prime HD's:

How loud is your Fan? As there is no other equipment up and running, all I can hear is the fan. Standing/sitting 10+ feet away I can hear the fan whirring in the background. I have the lights set at 100% intensity right now.

Just wondering if this is normal running at 100%. I already know my wife will not appreciate it.
