Greetings...

[Waterlife]

New here from Visalia, CA. Been out of the hobby since 2002 and now just returning. We recently picked up a 420 gallon acrylic aquarium and purchased two 20" overflows from Synergy Reef. Searching plumbing options led us to this forum and we're happy to be here.

Welcome to R2R and your new reefing family. Way to jump back in to the hobby with 420 gallons.

Welcome back @Waterlife in a big way.....420 gallons worth! Let's start a Member's Tank thread so that we can see this beast and follow it's build. Again, welcome.

Welcome home, you will love it here!

Let’s see that tank, and keep us posted with your build with lots of photos!

Also, I’m looking for a ten foot tank in the Midwest, where did you get your large tank?

 

[Waterlife]

I found it on a local buy/sell Facebook page. It was located only 45 minutes north of us in Fresno. I had to have it. When my dad passed away, I made the mistake of selling his 750 gal acrylic aquarium, complete with built-in overflows, massive sump and rainbow lifeguard canister filtration....under $2,000. A guy came out to CA from Arizona with a flatbed trailer and hauled it home. This isn't a 750 but it'll work.

Welcome...

Is it me, or does that look really tall? What are the dimensions of your tank?

Yeah... Not ideal by any means. It's a whopping 48" tall by 84" long. It's only 24" wide. An armpit tank. But I impulsively grabbed it without giving it any thought. I'll make it work.

Welcome to R2R...to the panic that is newly-glued plumbing, the paranoia of not getting enough flow, and the need for quieter return pumps.

I am really looking forward to seeing the aquascape and livestock selection. May we see a video of you shopping for and selecting all the coral colonies? That would get you some YouTube subscribers for sure!
