Hi Everyone,
To start... My name is Mark! I live in Kemptville ON (just outside of Ottawa) Canada. I had been into salt water loving for quite a while, when I got to a point in my life where I could not afford or have time to maintain a nice tank (single guy living in a condo). I am now in the complete opposite position... I don't have a whole bunch of money or time, but I want to get back into the hobby for myself and my kids. I am going to run a "simple" setup that will require minimal maintenance, and cost. I purchased a 60 gallon rimless cube... LED fixture... along with a sump that included a Tunze skimmer. I also have my sand and salt ready to go... I am in the process of building my stand and also researching what ro/di unit I should be getting ( I'm on well water).
I plan on adding two small rock formations, and having lots of room for fish to swim and be viewed. I will soon be drilling the tank to run an overflow box... I only want to start considering adding rock & water once I have everything planned out. I don't want to jump into this unprepared. The other thing that's holding me up, is money to finish the floors in our basement since that's where the tank is going.
I will add some current pictures shortly and will keep adding as my build continues. I look forward to chatting with everyone
