    I have had my FOWLER tank for about 8 years and honestly started out pretty much on my own with the bare min in filtration and maintenance. When I moved about 3 years ago I started over having trouble keeping fish alive. That was when the learning really started and the more questions I asked the more I realized I didn't know. I put my first sump together about a year ago with a 10 gallon tank that was the biggest I could fit in my stand. I am now thinking about taking the next step to reef keeping and I have been doing research. Issues in my head, I need a Skimmer and bigger sump which probably means I need to built a new stand for my 46 gal bow front. I also think some day I would like to upgrade to a 72 gal bow front so I might build the stand to fit that tank with a sump that will work for it now to save a rebuild later.

    Welcome to 3reef corey. There is a wealth of knowledgeable reefers that will be more than willing to help you get your tank to where you want it. But as divott stated we like pics.
