    Hello everyone,
    I am about to embark on my new fascinating adventure into Marine Aquariums
    I have a freshwater set up but love the beauty of the Marine fish and corals.
    I will be on this sight countless hours researching every bit of information I can gather before I jump in.

    I am currently in the process of piecing my system together. It will be a 75g Acrylic setup with built in over flow box (already purchased sitting in basement). I still need a stand to match the oak canopy I bought with it along with EVERYTHING else....... Oh my what have I gotten into...LOL

    I hope you can steer me in the correct direction as I start gathering all the equipment, I will need a LOT of information and I know its out there to be found from you fellow members.

    Again Thanks for a wonderful adventure

    Peotone, not far from you at all, what about a half hour drive I think. I am going to Aurora tomorrow to check out a lfs there heard its supposed to be a good one. Cant remember the name tho. Its on Oak street I believe.
    I have been going to CAPTURE THE SEA and AQUATICA in Tinley Park but am looking for other places to shop. Any suggestions?

    Oh I intend to but its going to take me forever to do it because I don't ever start anything without gathering all the information I need in order to make a qualified purchase. I will say Im looking at at minimum of 6 months before I start assembling everthing
