Hello, From Indiana

[reefdoink]

Hello R2R members,

For starters I am pretty new to saltwater but have been involved in some basic freshwater setups in the past. My current setup is a work in progress.
Equipment list so far:

DT / Sump:
60 gal marine land (4 ft long 12 7/8 wide and about 2 ft tall)
Bashea 30-14-16 Sump /Bio-fuge
Octo Reef Essence 130 skimmer
Octo Reef various 4 dc return pump
Eshopps pf 1000 hob over flow (sadly tempered glass display tank)
Two Current USA 1050 Eflux flow pumps with controller
Finnex titanium 300w heater with Inkbird itc-308 controller

QT tank:
10 gallon tank
Marineland bio wheel hob
Still need a heater and places for the live stock to hide.

Some more about me, I work for a chip factory and babysit their robots for a living. I have lost track of how long (probably 3 or 4 months) I have been doing research on equipment and live stock. BRS 52 weeks has been a great starting point. Some other favorites are Fish of Hex, Inappropriate Reefer, melevsreef, Tidal Gardens and many more, but those are my frequent go to channels lol. I'm still debating on a slightly bigger tank (probably a 75 gallon) since I have not started cycling yet. But have not found a used one locally that is not tempered glass or over priced so far. Nice meeting you all and Happy Reefing!
