This tank is my first SW and reef tank. I have kept variety of FW tanks many years ago but had left the hobby. I decided to get back in and make the leap to SW reef. So far, I am enjoying it a great deal.
I was fortunate to land a great deal on a near complete tank set-up and felt the time was right to just jump in. Tank set up was in mid-September 2017 so obviously this thread will miss out on the initial build-out and set-up.
The goal of this thread is to document my progress with my first tank and have a resource for others to check out as well as have information handy as questions and issues arise.
