Hello all my name is chris. I am new to the reef but was in fresh water for many years just broke down a 120 galkon tank which had malawi cichlids and frontosa and peacock chichlids. I have always wanted to have a saltwater aquarium. I know have the space and a little time to make it happen. I just finished buidling a stand for my 180 gallon tank. I have plumbed it and with custom acrylic sump and a custom 45 gallon acrylic ATO. I am 41 years old live in new york and am looking forward for some good friends in the reefing community to give me a hand.

Awesome! I love African cichlids! Discuss! Welcome, go get me some salsa homie cuz I'm a cowboy!

Sorry all about the mess . It will be ckean almost done with the wiring n moving of the tank. I think I have this in the build thread but am not sure. But if I don't please let me know n how I can put it there. TheFluval FX5 that you all see in the pic is only for circulation in the aquarium . Will be run empty.

 

[Gravityreefing]

So today am filling the tank for the leak test.
