Welcome to R2R and the salty world Mike. Looks good so far. Maybe add some bits so that there are some openings for fish to swim through. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.

Welcome to the Dark Side...

Working on putting together my first tank. I'll do a build thread at some point but after watching YT videos for 3 weeks, I'm hopefully on the right track with a Reefer XL200.

Currently working on the scape. How does it look? I've only gone about 1/2 way to the top of the tank with the height and haven't glued or mortared anything yet. I'll be starting out with beginner friendly inhabitants so likely no SPS. Also will be adding sand.

Thanks and excited to learn more and enjoy the hobby! Mike

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I wish I had started build thread while still in planning stage, seems like you are there now. Pictures of under tank shims, rock sculpturing (like you show), and more photos like that got lost because I waited. Instead, I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:
