Planning a 300-400g so mos def following
Good decision. Skimmer looks a bite undersizedNext up are some of the major equipment components I added for this project. Special thanks goes out to Reef Dynamics and Titan Aquatic Exhibits for these gems! For those who know me well, I go back many years with these products and I am still running my old RC 500 Euro-Reef skimmer to this day, which was purchased back in 2006. Built like a tank and still runs like new!
Next up, family vacation to Aruba or just purchase 10 years of replacement parts and modified pumps for the skimmer and calcium reactor in advance? While Reef Dynamics is no longer in business, my plan is to keep this heavy duty equipment in operation for decades to come!
. You can always wait another 10 years for a trip to Aruba. Loyalty to hobby first, lol...

My wife is fine with my hobby as well and has been supportive. The yearly trips to different destinations abroad is a big plus for both of us.

Up next: Installing all the electrical components necessary to power a large reef project! Special thanks goes out to my good friend and master electrician, Doug Richards, for this part of the project. Doug spent many weekends in my basement installing all the electrical work for my reef grow out system and for my dream tank pictured below. We still have more projects for Doug to complete in the future, including adding a standby whole house generator to keep our power on during an outage.
All the electrical for my basement reef project uses weather resistant receptacles, installed in the ceiling and away from splashing water, with numerous 20 amp circuits added, and a sub panel to power the big tank exclusively.
