Hi every I'm new to R2R and would like to introduce my self. Name is Patrick and I love in Phoenix Arizona. I just recently got into aquariums due to one being given to me for free. My brother has always been into them so he helped me get started.

Here is my tanks it is a 65 gallon Red Sea Max tank that has been converted to a sump style tank using a life reef over flow. Sicce 4.0 return pump, coral life 65g skimmer and 2 Jebaos wp40 wave makers. Using a reactor for carbon and purigen

Me and my buddy built the stand it is on, we used 4x4 and 2 inch think ply wood with tiles on top

Welcome to R2R, Patrick. Yes, very nice setup. Now you need to start you own build thread here link
 
Welcome home, you will love it here!

Beautiful tank, thanks for sharing!
 
Welcome to R2R. I joined a little over 1 month ago and am also from Phoenix :-)
Nice set up btw. You have definitely jumped the curb as a newbie. Looking forward to seeing your tanks progress.

Thanks. I had a lot of help from my brother who has been into the hobby for years

Hi Patrick,

Welcome to the forum and congratulations with a first tank!
Such a good start:) Do you plan to add some more fish?
