oh coming back into the hobby is great but get ready to spend $$$...I was out of the hobby for like 10 years. Came back into it like 3 years. Had a acrylic 140 made and I began learning how to make alot of stuff myself and did alot of reading and brain picking from all these great people on R2R... I love working w acrylic. After about 1 1/2 years in, the 140 is gone and now we have a 300 I had made. I been fine tuning my acrylic crafting also. Now we adding on to the house and we are talking about haaving a fish room with a 600 gallon in it..either peninsula or, I think a complete 4 sides walk around would be super cool. . If I did that I would run electric conduit under the concrete to the center of the floor where the tank would go...so I am looking forward to seeing your tank go up and then your bigger one...It happens to the best of us, I have seen on R2R....Check out my build thread...Have a great day and welcome to the reefing jungle...
