Due to work relocation back and forth from Tampa to Seattle back to Tampa, I'm in my new permanent home with my dedicated office space where I want to put a saltwater fish and soft coral tank. I'm taking the approach of a newbie and looking for a plug and play system, looking at the Reefer series 350 Max G2.
Welcome back!

Hello I'm back to marine aquatics after long years first Happy New year from Europe to all members.
In the beginning of my hobby was year 1995 in Italy where not 1 marine shop in town was existing
and with support of one courier driving to UK and back regularly we smuggling fish and rocks...
After I left Italy back to Slovenia and now Serbia all this years I'm collecting equipment and decide
last year to take serious acrylic aquarium 130 cm long 75 cm height and 60 cm wide perfect product
made in Italy producer. Also ordered all new main basic equipment for over 2000 Euro and lets say all is in
place waiting metal support for aquarium to be ready to start assembling.
My patent is that will be no standard sump under the aquarium but on left side is cabinet with
small aquarium connected by U pipes and have always the same level as main tank.
Also under this small tank there is another 2 one for deep sand bed and another with skimmer
and mechanical filtration, carbon ect...pumps is tested in 1995 it was before named Askoll Tronic
and now seams that Fluval purchased production now name is fluval Sea SP4 very strong pumps.
In 1997 I was in hong Kong and purchased 2 Iwaki pumps - kings of the pump imagine they
still work well in one shop that I sell them after I relocate. Over 20 y. Iwaki is working.
Will post my collected equipment photos and lets assemble. Will regularly post how is going.
Also will post some photos of my first Sera aquarium marine one and beginners mistakes in 1995
first Arcadia MHI lamp and lot of algae as I didn't have RO water...

I too am back into the hobby after a 20 year hiatus. Wow....the hobby has changed/evolved so much.
I am starting out slow with a 60 gal. breeder, CaribSea Live sand and Marco Rock. Am cycling the tank now with Dr. Tim's and adding some Microbacter7 as well. Looking forward to getting a couple of clowns in the tank in about a month. Am cycling a 10 gal QT and will get those clowns in there in a couple of weeks.
Let the games begin !
