Don't feel new here...

I've been reading this forum for a couple years now, I would say 97% of my knowledge comes from here, Ive never really had to post anything because if I search for a question on here its been asked before, so I feel like I should post something. Ive had my tank for almost 2 years now, and has been mostly FOWLR. Its been through several moves; job changes, a marriage, baby, and one final move making me a homeowner. Now that life is settling a bit (even though another baby is due in March) Ive had more time for the hobby, certainly no extra money, but if you can DIY it, Im all about it. So, recently I built a new, bigger stand. I wanted room for a sump, and my cheap particle board petco special was shifting into the unreliable phase. Ive pretty much got most evertything I need to get the sump/fuge going minus a return pump, just waiting for fundage. Im gonna have 1" pvc drain and Im going to build one of those DIY pvc overflows that got a lot of attention a while back on here. I recently got a BTA a few days ago and one clown is already being hosted (I think because my wrasse turns into a diva when hes hungry). Things are looking great and coming along and its all because of the coutless hours Ive spent digging through this forum and peoples willingness to share theyre knowledge and experience. So thank you to everyone on here.

Heres some pics of the stand with the soon to be sump/fuge on top. And theres my new BTA, clown chillin in there with his best friend in the background haha

 

Hi tsalva and welcome to 3reef.

You did a fantastic job on the stand.

 

I've also been researching and in search for parts for my fuge. Can wait to see your finish product. Welcome to the reef.
