Hello everyone, my name is Stephen and live in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am 51 and grew up with freshwater aquariums. I was always interested in saltwater, but was in the Air Force and it was either too difficult or expensive. Now that I am retired, I decided to go big. We started to add an addition and remodel our house 6 years ago and the plan included a 425 gallon, 5 sided reef tank built into the corner of the living room. The tank has been cycling for 2.5 years now and I continue to work on the infrastructure to automate as much as possible. I have used Reef2Reef for research and am finally getting around to joining the community.
