The title says it all. Preparations are officially under way tonight for my new reef tank which is poised to get started right around the first of the year. I caught the wife on a good day when we the topic of Christmas presents came up for each other a few weeks ago. She already knew what she wanted and secretly so did I. So I did some bargaining. After many lengthy discussions, we agreed on what we would be getting for one another. So after being drug to a jewelry store to purchase what I believe was called an "enhancer" for my wife's wedding set, I came home and placed an order for my new tank through aquabeta. Andy, the owner, was a huge help. He even went as far as emailing me about questions I had during the middle of Sandy, he is located in NY. The only downside to the agreement made between my wife and I is that in order to get the new tank I had to agree that I could not have the tank until Christmas. It is sitting on my dining room table taunting me at this very moment. So I thought about postponing a build thread until after I could actually use my tank, but I thought it would be a little more fun to start a very vague build to occupy me. Luckily the wife was nice enough to let me get the tank out and start taking some measurements so I can get a stand build underway in the next few days. Now as we all know every thread is worthless without some pics, so below you will find some teaser pics. More details will come in the next day or so. Enjoy!
