New House - CHECK
New Baby - CHECK
Aquarium Build - Heck Yes!!
After moving into our new home and welcoming our newborn son, it's definitely time to get back into the game! A little bit of background, I've always had fish but did not get into Reef keeping until I had the opportunity to visit the Keys with my High School Biology Class. During our trip, we had the chance to dive and observe several different ecosystems. I became especially interested in the ecosystem that lives within the floating patches of Sargassum. Fast forward to the best scam ever... I convinced my parents that I needed a reef tank for "Science Fair." In my defense, it was actually a really solid study...
Fast forward, I started with a 33g, moved to a 47 tall and squeezed a BioCube into our shoebox apartment in Chicago... Now it's time for a new build and I want to start from scratch! This is what I'm thinking so far and the first step will begin with curing the dry rock... Feedback is very much appreciated:
I'm hoping to get the mixing station setup this weekend, rock ordered and begin the curing process (I want to take my time and control every step of the process)
