    Hello eveyrone!

    New to the hobby. Planning out my first reef tank right now. After a few weeks of searching, I just purchased a 60 gallon tank with stand. ( excellent deal too;D) Cant wait to get some inspiration, learn a lot and start a build thread!

    Welcome to the hobby, and to 3reef! Is the 60 just a taller 55? (48" length, 12.75 width, 24"ish height) That is a good size tank to be starting with, so nice job there.

    Thanks! And the actual dimensions are 36" length, 21 1/2" width, 21 1/2" height.... That is actually the first time I measured it. But that would mean it's 72 gallons! :eek: I just took the word of the shop that it was a 60. :laughings
