Hey everyone, how is it going? I just went from 0 to 60 then turned the music up to 11 with my hobby here.

Started out with multiple betta tanks to show the kids some element of responsibility and now I am so delighted with our successes that I have started a tank of my own. Or at least I tried.

I ordered a JBJ RL-45 from marinedepot and had all sorts of rocks sitting in a can for months now ready to introduce to my tank today.. and of course the tank arrived completely smashed to pieces. this is bad timing because I was planning on going on vacation for 10 days starting Thursday... best laid plans for sure.

ANYWAYS!

I have bought quite a bit of equipment for my next RL-45 (coming from a vendor that doesnt try to blame the shipper for "repacking" what should have been a masterpiece of bubblewrap but instead was some paper and tape:

Once I get the unbroken RL-45 I will post new thread highlighting the custom stand and perhaps some of the other cool things I can think of which may or may not help with my goal of recreating finding nemo in 45 gallons (as my kids [and I]) are dead set on. Anyways - live in NoVA.

Talk to everyone Soon!
 
:-D

Not a good start but glad they will replace it and this time I hope with bubble wrap and some prayers.
Mean while read up how to cycle and be ready to test a lot, get some good test kits, redsea, salifert, hanna for alk and Po4
Also be ready to asl a lot of questions.
 
Sorry to hear about your first bump in the road. If nothing else this hobby will teach you patience.

Welcome to R2R!
