I am going to visit some fish stores this week and start to look at their larger reef setups. Since I will be running the sump, refugium, QT and everything else out of my basement, their setups should be similar. Once I have an idea of either 120 or 150, I will post dimensions. Thanks Mike, your...
Thank you Lost. I have been reading on the internet for weeks now and will absolutely pick up and read any recommended reading to increase the chances for success. I plan on taking the better part of the next month reading before I take any next steps. That being said, I do have an idea of what...
DT looks great. Basement setup is the way I believe I am going to go. From the research I am doing, I really enjoy the look of soft corals in the tank. That and anemones. I am reading that a good clean up crew is a must for any reef tank. My guess is anywhere from 100-125 hermits, snails ...

Is your tank o the second floor? I was thinking about doing that. My wife said she is fine if I use our unfinished basement as an area for the tank and is also ok if I run plumbing through the floor behind the tank to keep equipment , quarantine tank, sump, refuge etc..etc. I just have to figure...

I look forward to just finding a good recommendation for a 120 gallon tank to get...

Thank you! You are right about one thing, I have been reading for about a week and still have a ton more research to do. I already told my wife that I expect the tank setup project to go for a while, not planning on rushing. I look forward to hearing your suggestions once I post the list. Thanks...
All - I have decided to start a reef tank. I know very little of how to start one however I have read to join forums and get sound advice from experienced people. The only decision I have made is that I want a tank that is 120-150 gallons. I am hoping to get suggestions on tanks, filtration...
