Jumping Back In

[Saltygram]

Hello All,

After being out of the hobby for 6+ years, we are jumping back in. I know, we need to have our head examined.

Just received a Waterbox 290.6 LX. We almost have the plumbing and aquascape finished.

Here are a few pictures.

Not in Slash but looking great!

You know by posting here we're only going to encourage more of this kind of behavior? Very nice set-up, looking forward to seeing it complete.

Looks great. Looking forward to following your progress.

 

[Saltygram]

Thanks for your comments. Made my first 70 gallons of saltwater today.

And so it begins....

Looks high tech! Love the neat setup and labels. Let me know if you need corals, I can hook you up reasonably of course

 

[Saltygram]

Thanks. Trying to step it up a notch this go around and put more fail safes in place. Also built a saltwater mixing station this time.

Definitely will need corals once we have things up and running for a while.

What corals are you guys interested in? I recently went through a STN event so I don’t have any Acros. I do have a green Pocillipora and 3-4 different Zoas I can frag.

Thanks for the offers to help us get our coral garden going. It will be a while before we are ready but will reach out when we get there.

Here's a look at the aquascape we built. Going in the tank in a few days.

Looks awesome. I don’t seem to have a creative bone in my body. My aquascape always end up looking like the 80s/90s wall

Very cool- I like the arches and the open space. Very exciting, I'm sure.

Yesterday was an exciting day. We put the aquascape and sand in the tank and started filling the tank.

 

[griss]

Nice

 

[Uncle99]

Very nice scape!

 

[Reefing102]

Great looking scape!

 

[Nanook]

Looks nice and open! What kind of corals are you growing?

Welcome back!

I came back earlier this year after a 7 year hiatus, I understand completely!

I love wide open swim areas, and arches on the rockwork!

I hope to follow along!

The tank is almost cycled. So excited to maybe add a few fish this weekend.

What stores are you going to check out for fish?
