Much like many posting here, I've been lurking in the shadows with for quiet some time and on and off reefing for about 14 years (I still have no idea what I'm doing). I've had a few tanks over the time but coming out of a 10 year hiatus and deciding it was time to start something new. I had big plans for a big custom tank build but I came across a RR Aqueon 210 brand new that I couldn't pass up. I think it would have been worth more in scrap glass VS what I paid for it.

I dug up some of my old "new" equipment as my last large tank turned into a disaster and most of it stayed BNIB. With a heavy heart I scrapped the project but saved most of the dry goods. Waiting to build up a little more equipment (things have changed a lot in 10 years) and some actual plans before I start my build thread. I browse all the threads and some of you guys have it all planned out so well - I'm flying by the seat of my pants for the most part :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: lets hope everything pans out as great as it is in my head.

Gathering up some content so I can keep you guys entertained with my plastic rimmed tank of goodies

Greetings and Welcome to our collective obsession!!

Glad to hear you're taking the dive again. I am also. I'm still in planning stage though. The first goal is to redo my floors and switch to tile. I'm DONE with carpets!!

I feel you on this - thankfully we have tile all throughout but as I found out building the stand - no two floors are even :grinning-face-with-sweat: The tanks final spot is definitely not as level as where I built the stand originally. I basically had to build it in place form fit to the floor - I'm calling it the forever stand.

As for planning - I know more or less what I want to do but as for actual plans - I have none. That's what happens when your brain is a high end processor but everything else is running on Windows 98
