My Introduction - BrianDrab

Brian Drab · Mar 31, 2019

Although my first post here didn't get a "friendly" response I'm hopeful this will be a great place.

My son and I started our first salt water tank about 14 months ago. We started with fresh water for several years but it just wasn't interesting enough.

So our journey began and continues.

I just pulled the trigger on a 265 Gallon tank for the basement so am waiting for that to come in and figured I should join a community as I'm going to need a place to research, ask questions, and hopefully share experiences.

I recently purchased a ReefBot and was having some issues so did some searching and your forum came up so I figured what better time to join.

Hope to learn a lot from you guys!

Welcome to R2R! Glad you decided to post again and don't forget to start a build thread with that 265 and your son!

BTW - the Reef Bot thread is loaded with great info!

Welcome to R2R and your new reefing family. As @crusso1993 suggested, definitely start a build thread for the 265g.

I'm sorry if you thought I was not being nice. To the contrary, I am impressed with your dedication to data collection and logical comparisons. Your post was full of good information and well formatted. It's clear you will do well with this hobby, it's a good one. My response was in humor and respect, not giving you a hard time. The intent was to humorously respect your post. My apologies for any negativity!

Welcome to R2R! As seen above, you will find most folks super nice and helpful!
