I'm BACK in on the right coast!!!

[WayneL333]

I just ordered a 405 gallon (80"x39"x30"high) glass tank, stand and sump from Miracle Aquariums! So I'm bi-coastal now and my east coast home has a lot more space. I actually ordered 2 tanks. One from Miracle and another 411 (96"x30"x33") gallon acrylic tank from Titan in AZ. The acrylic will be for freshwater monsters and the Miracles will be reef.

I travel a lot now and I want to go low maintenance with my reef, meaning lots of wavy LPS and infrequent water changes, tank crashes don't care! But I don't know if I can go back to my newb days. I really want to get a trio of GP's again. I regret having to sell me previous ones, but fresh starts.

Anyway, a build thread will soon follow. And let me know if I should keep it real or go low maintenance??!

And BTW anyone see the 405 irony on the east coast??!

Welcome back. Excited to see your new build.

My vote is go big or go home. SPS dominant with rare fish, You know, just like last time!
Get an alk monitor/controller, a calcium reactor, a big sump with refugium and stick with no or infrequent water changes. As BRS is touting these days, ULM.

You know you want to!

Thanks for the advice guys! I just don’t know if I’ll have the time to properly qt corals and fish. I want rare but I don’t want to have to always worry about them.

would love to see what you could do with a lps/softie tank ..

Howdy Wayne, great to see you back. How much time are you spending east and west?

What are you getting for the monster freshwater tank?

welcome back Wayne.

Off topic, but what are your plans for the freshwater monster fish tank??!!

 

[ChefZilla]

Welcome back bud... cant wait to see whatcha do with both tanks.

 

[WayneL333]

Thanks guys. Rik, I’m still spending more time on west coast right now but I’m trying to change that as my family is on the east coast full time. I gotta admit it’s kinda nice tho to be able to take mini vacays away from them regularly ��

Kelly, different types of big shovelnose catfish and arowanas. I was thinking about a huge planted tank but decided it was too much work.

Hopefully I’ll get the tanks in a couple of months. I’ll definitey post updates������

How's the freshwater fish selection on the east coast? I have yet to visit a fish store in the U.S. outside of California that's comparable to what we have in SoCal for saltwater creatures. Probably because a lot of it is funneled through LAX.

Looking forward to the build updates!

The right coast is the left coast.

Glad your going to get set up again!
