Hi,
I'm Mark. I bought a house for retirement several years ago at 8650' outside Boulder, CO and it came with a built-in 120 gallon tank. I'm just now getting around to setting it up and I'm glad to have the help of this forum! I have some experience from childhood with fresh water tanks and...
Hello all blukorr here, I've been dreaming, researching and saving for five years to break into the salty side of the hobby! I've saved up around 5 grand to get my dream tank and equipment and I feel it's time to pull the proverbial trigger and start buying things. I've seen that a lot of...
Hey guys and gals
Here is my 120 build thread. As of now, the tank has been running for almost two months. Took some Persuasion to get me to post. It is a 120 Visio with stand and canopy. My exiting tank was a 90 acrylic. I’ll post as I get a chance to. Critic and praises welcome.

Yup, another guy who got lost and accidentally wandered into a fish store. Well, not quite…. Long ( and I mean like 20 something years long) story short, I finally decided to get into reefing. My wife says I have a real problem with getting very bored very quickly, unless something occupies my...
So I just got into the reefing hobby about 4 months ago and decided I would share my story, successes, and most importantly my failures so that anyone new to the hobby also can learn!
Starting Out...
I love learning and building new things. This is probably the main reason I wanted to get into...
