Hey guys! I’d like to welcome everyone to my getting back into the hobby tank!

I started my journey almost 10 years ago now, with a 220g tank! Lots of learning, trial and error, and life changes led to the break down and sale of that system. I worked for my LFS and did my own thing on the side for the following years until I landed a job that no longer allowed the time. I’ve started a couple builds here on R2R but never really stick with them. Here’s to changing that.

I type this as I sit in a mini van stuffed to the brim with a gently used 150g 48x24x31, stand and equipment, smell of salt in my nostrils, and visions of Acros and polyp extension dancing in my head!

If it fits, it ships!

gonna get this thing home, crack open a cold one (or 12) grab a razor and some vinegar and start the deep cleaning process.

included equipment

2x Viparspectra 165w black boxes 24in
1x Viparspectra 165w 36in
China return
Sca 302 skimmer, may have wrong model number here, but it’s the larger one.
no name acrylic sump
Couple hundred pounds of rock
Various power heads and misc heaters etc

I look forward to reconnecting with some of the old salts, and making new connections with all the new faces! Feel free to chime in with any input, it’s all welcome.

Good to be back, well almost back!
 
I think I'm mostly impressed that you fit it in your vehicle!
Well, I’m a mover for a living, I’ll fit your entire house in a 26ft truck! Squeezing this monster in my buddy’s dodge mini van was a tight fit for sure! Thanks for stopping in!

After getting it into the house I’ll post a couple photos to document the before and after clean up and what not. Stay tuned!
