Congratulations! Very excited for you!IM BACK! Late 2020 I sold my home and tank in NY and moved at VA in search for a better life. I don't have many hobbies so Ive been counting the days until I could get another tank. Through my reefing career I've had a 150, 50, and 29 Gallon reef tank each one was better than the last but had their fair share of mistakes. Ive learned from all those mistakes and will be beginning my dream build. This is going to be a drawn out thread as the tank will be in a new build home and we are about a month out from breaking ground.
The Home:
My new home is going to be a 2400 SQ foot ranch on a crawl space. It will feature 16 FT cathedral ceilings and an open concept floor plan. I have the tank location picked out, it's going to be next to the sliding glass door between the living room and dining room.
As you can see I marked the tank location In red. The floor below is going to be reenforced to support 3000LBS so we won't have any issues on that front. Ive always wanted a fish room, but unfortunately our budget did not allow for one.
The Tank:
Right now I most likely am going to get a @Waterbox Aquariums or A Cade Aquarium. My ideal size will be in the 120 Gal range and be a peninsula style tank. It's going to be a mixed reef and Im still deciding on equipment.
Im open to all suggestions and comments, like I said this going to be a long thread before I even order the tank but I wanted to document the entire process from start to finish including construction. Its great to be back and I value every single one of you and your opinions/ advice!
