Hi Everyone!

drummaster2245 · Mar 1, 2022

Hi there! I’m Sean, I’m married with a 2 year old son. I’ve had many salt water tanks over the years but never had the time or money to properly run them and grow them into lasting tanks. I’ve put together a nice 36 gallon bow front for my son to enjoy with me and let him grow up learning all about it. So far the tank has been running a few weeks and we just put the first few fish in today along with a CUC. Here’s my setup

- 36g bow front rimless tank
- Phlizon 165 watt reef lighting system
- 2 Seachem Tidal 75 HOB filters
- Macro Aqua M-50 protein skimmer
- Custom made lunar lighting system
- 40lbs Carib Sea live aragonite
- 15lbs live rock
- Custom made artificial stacked slate stone centerpiece
- Uniclife 1058gph wave maker system
- 300 watt digital programmable quartz heater

Hi Sean and Family. Lisa and Michael with daughter and her grandma to round us out. Welcome! Glad you joined. Its a great family hobby.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
