Hi everyone.
New here but not so new to reefing. I do concider myself a beginer. I had an 140 gallon reef tank for two years. My setup was very intermediary and low budget. I sprung a leak and lost everything I had worked very hard to keep healthy and happy. Since then I had a new son and have not had the time or funds to start again. I was also discouraged from starting over because of all that I lost. Well now my son just turned 4 years old and I am ready to start again. I do not have any of my old setup because I was forced to sale it needing the money to keep my 9 year old daughter and son a float. Im a single father as of a year and a half now. I have done well for us in my new career as a sign fabricator of 2 years and am getting a nice tax refund this year that will allow me to start a new reef tank.
I have been given a 75 gallon aquarium that will be my DT. it is not reef ready and I have looked into the glsss-holes kit to drill the tank myself. I also have a 55 gallon tank that I will build into the sump which will be kept in the basement directly under the DT. I have been researching as much as possible to prepare for the build once I get my refund. I do have a good plan of how I will build and setup thanks to all the info here and youtube.
I just wanted to introduce myself. Any suggestions and info you all have would be greatly appreciated.
Glad to be here!
