Hey from Iowa

New member from Iowa here. Been in the process of setting up my first tank for about a year now...After all they say take your time with salt tanks. Been putting together a 90gal, have the stand almost done and looking for a light now.... Been reading as much as possible over the last year on reef tanks... and just found your site.
yea forgot to mention that I've been building my sump... 30gal, have the bubble trap done, have a MXS 200 skimmer ready to set in it...

 

Hey im from Iowa as well. Where is waverly located? And what kind of budget are you looking at? And what do you plan on keeping?

 

I grew up in Iowa...born in Newton,moved around southern Iowa,graduated from Osceola.Good to see other Iowans on here.Good luck with the tank,this is the best forum to learn from.

 

Waverly is 12 miles north of Waterloo (N.E. corner)..... Looking at a this

T-5 Aquarium Lighting: Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights

on sale and cheap shipping till the end of the month

More light than I need right now but with my future plans I think it's a decent choice

 

Hey I'm from Iowa as well. Quad City area, grew up in Muscatine. Good to see some fellow iowans on here! Go Hawks!

 

I just recieved the 36in version of this light in the mail yesterday and have to say I love it over my PC's. Check out petmountain.com you may be able to get a better price FYI.

 

hey welcome to 3reef its good to see more people on here from Iowa

 

the best piece of advice you'll get around here as a saltwater newbie is 3Reef's slogan
"Go slow, let it grow."
good luck and post pics soon

 

Thanks for the warm welcome! And will look at petmountian thanks for the tip...Go Hawks?......Hell yes the way they played in the orange bowl they could have beat Alabama for the championship!.... And me being from the north country.....GO Vikes!

After checking out the prices on petmountian.com it still looks like the price at F&S has them beat by $41 bucks....

 

welcome to 3reef!
