Tank setup help

[krookedsession]

Ok I am as new as they come. I currently do not have a sw tank. I am planning on getting a tank next year (gotta convince the Mrs. first), anyways I've been looking online and I feel like I have a decent grasp on how it get set up. But I am still confused, what I am looking for is does anyone have any drawings or what not showing how to incorporate the tank, sump, refugium thing, and all that jazz please any help would be appreciated.

Just a little info I would like to build 100-120gal tank reef/fish

Welcome to RC! I'd check out some of the reef tank builds in this forum. I learned a lot by looking at other people's setup.

There's also lots of info in the "stickies," as well as posts in the "New to the Hobby" forum. Also try the search function for "plumbing design", as I saw a recent thread that included photos of many people's sump/plumbing designs.

Get her a small bowl or fresh water tank and a Siamese fighting Betta. They are gorgeous, easy to care for. Get her hooked, hopefully, then show her the much prettier, marine fish. Worked for me :thumbsup:

If all else fails, remember the married man's mantra: 'tis easier to ask for forgiveness than it 'tis to ask for permission .

Good luck!!
