Hello All!

My name is Zach and I'm from Biloxi, MS.

I'm not really new to the fish tank game as I have had a lot of freshwater and FOWLR tanks over the year, but I finally have my own house (almost built) and it is time for me to finally build my reef.

I have a 150G tank that I am going to setup for my display and run the Triton method.

I am also going to use dry rock to start my tank (don't want to risk introducing any critters) and run a nitrogen cycle. I haven't done this before and as an engineer, I like trying and learning new things.

Any advice anyone has on setting up a new tank from scratch running the Triton method, feel free to send all the info you can!

Welcome Zach! Setting up a new tank myself and considering triton; learning as I go. There is a good thread on R2R (first link) and BRS has a couple decent overview videos (second and third links) of their experience with it as well as numerous videos on other various parts (e.g. refugium, skimmer use, and dosing major/minor trace). Hope this helps and Good luck!
