Hi! I am Ryan, I would like to introduce myself as a new member. My family and I are building a new home and it has always been a dream to have a saltwater aquarium. Thanks to my wife this dream looks to becoming a reality. I have Joined this community to learn and build knowledge as I have a few months before our home is completed. Looks to be a great adventure and cant wait to get started and grow my knowledge.

Welcome!

Are you going to build an "in wall" display? (since building a new home)

Sometimes I like the idea of in wall tanks and other times not so much. I used to have an in wall display many years ago.

It will not be in wall. I plan on going with a 90-120 gallon tank.

Welcome Ryan. Are you going to do corals or fish only with live rock? What size tank?

I have a 90 and wished I would have went 120. More depth for the aquascaping and a few more fish available due to size constraints.

Welcome to R2R! Can’t wait to see what you build! Any ideas what you size or kind I build you are looking into.

And its a GREAT thing to have the wife on board! I got mine on board before even considering my next build. She just wanted to make sure it wasn't gonna be a money pit. But I thought of that! Told her that I'm getting everything up front that I plan on using. And for the most part, that's true. My LEDs and Apex will be future, future buys one year and two years down the road respectively.

Wow, this time I really did digress! Greetings and Welcome to our collective obsession!!!!
