    Hello, My name is Danny. I had been in the hobby for a while a few years back. I used to live in Oklahoma and I had a 55g tank with about 120 lbs of live rock and a few soft corals and mostly 2 false clowns and a Coral Beauty.

    It was run with an emperor filter with a Red Sea Prizm energizer skimmer and 4 t5 HO lights. My wife and I moved to Missouri and the tank didn't make the trip.

    By the time we got a tank and got the tank going again it was too late for the fish. The closest aquarium shop was about 90 miles away and we were unable to upkeep a tank for 2.5 years. We moved to Ohio about a year ago and recently bought a house, so i decided it was time to bring back the reef.

    I decided that this was the time to make an upgrade since i am basically starting from scratch so i will describe the plan for the new setup.

    I have decided to go with a 110g (drilled) this time and will be running a sump with a refugium. So i have a 35g baffled sump i am remotely setting up in my basement. This is the farthest i have made it so far so i am sure i will need lots of input and recommendations in the near future.

    I could definitely start a build thread. I may just need to be pointed in the right direction so i don't post it in the wrong place.

    Yeah, a local!

    I will definitely have to hit you up on some good shops around. So far I haven't been greatly impressed with the places around Akron/Canton.
