    Hello,
    Getting back into aquariums and moving back into a reef tank. It's been ~15 years since I've had a salt tank. It was a 90 gal and I had 4 T12 VHO bulbs on it. Now that I'm not travelling, I can enjoy this again.

    The salt/reef tank will be a 45gal "cube" (24"x24"x18") with center overflow. I have the tank, wet/dry, pump, heater, sand and putting the 1st coat of finish on my DIY stand tonight.

    I still need lights and you'll see a question in the correct (I hope) forum soon.

    Thanks for what looks like an informative site already!

    For those of you joining us that are new to the hobby - the best piece of advice you'll get around here as a saltwater newbie is 3Reef's slogan
    "Go slow, let it grow."
    And for those experianced hobbyists joining us - it's still good advice :p
    good luck and post pics soon :)
