Hi all,
I'm new to R2R. Not really sure why I've never come here until now. My name is Wes. I live in Raleigh, NC. I moved here about a year ago and started work on my In-Wall Reef in January. So here are some pics of the build along the way.
I am copying some of the text from a build thread in a local forum so please bear with me if it appears to be "current tense" instead of past.
Regards,
Wes
