    Hey Folks,

    In the process of finishing our basement and we are adding a 240gal salt water reef tank.

    Figured I could learn a lot from all of you as we are just getting in to this.

    We are doing a lot of reading and research before we actually get the tank. We expect to be putting the tank in the house mid July to early August so I may have a ton of questions before then.

    Not sure what else to say... My wife is a Dolphin trainer if any of you are into bigger animals ;)

    Yeah man those readings take a while. It's worth it mostly in the end...I still barely comprehend Otty's however. I'd check his out since you are deciding on the 240, his is a 265. Definately check his thread out, along with the other big 'uns going. Some are in progress as well, so you should jump in on those. In progress meaning some don't even have water yet. Good stuff to watch ;)
