J.R Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Hello, my name is J.R and I’m a reefaholic! I have had tanks in one form or another for about 25yrs my last was a reef but got out 7 years ago because of the expense of the tank combined with the expense of my wife having kids, now 7 yrs and 4 girls later I’m back! Anyways, when I got out I had a 120 acrylic, 55 gal sump, 2 25gal refuge and 25 gal prop, all MH lighting. I sold everything when I got out so I am starting over. I plan on being ready to start the cycle this December and here’s what I have bought so far. 180 gal w/ dual overflow 6x2x2 RO/DI HiS 75 gal Sump 1 400w MH 2 250w MH 7 39w T5 HO 2 Coralife 1090 return pumps Various little things I pick up my Skimmer and Cal reactor next month. Anyways it’s good to be back, I’ve really missed this hobby in the last 7 or so years that I have been out of it. I can’t wait to get the tank wet. I’ll post a build thread once I get the sump room built Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Welcome back. Like you, I had a few years out of the hobby while the kids were small. It is good to get the salt back in the blood. Dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.R Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Thanks for the welcome everyone! Yeah December seems like a long time but I promissed the Mrs that I would finish the remodel before I started on the tank. Besidess I do have a few big things to buy before I put water in it. Anyways I plan on becoming an actual member, I am just waiting for paypal to verify my account. After I pay the fee how long does it normally take before I am a member?
