Yeah... That's what I've been thinking. RODI, salt and buckets

RO/DI unit and easy access to fresh water.
 
It’s the base for all that is good about the tank. Figure this out before getting anything wet.

Hi there,

Is there such thing as a beginners check off list that things needed before I dump in live sand and live rock into a new tank to start cycling? I know its silly but something like:

☐ Test kit

☐ Heater

☐ Thermometer

☐ Hydrometer

You get the idea right?

Thank you,

It kind of does look like it.

Issaquah here... Not sure that really counts as Seattle but Washington for sure.

Welcome! Any teasers on your build?

Nice looking tank!  What were your / lighting / supplements then?

 

Thank you! No supplements and as far for lighting it was a 4 bulb T5 fixture. I cant really remember the combination.

By the way here is a picture of our old tank.

Hi there!

My family and I moved to Washington 3 years ago. I've been out of the hobby for about 7 years and now that our kids are a older I'm looking to get back into it as a family. I picked up an used Innovative Marine Nuvo 40. I liked the compact foot print and I've also been a pretty low key reefer, so no ATO or such. Just consistent water changes.

Anyways, I see a lot has changed in the last 7 years so I am looking forward to learn it all again. Specially it seems lighting has shifted from the good ol' t5s to LEDs? I'll have to look into that. Also if you have any recommendations for LFS' near my area I'd appreciate it.

Thank you!
