new to the hobby

Hi everyone , I'm so glad that I'm apart of this club n.j. represent. It took me awhile to join . It finally want through, it wasn't letting me before. I'm so excited to maybe grow in this journey with u guess. Ok let me start by saying I never had a fish tank before. I have been wanting to do it for along time . So i Saw somewhat of a good deal on 180 gallon tank 72×24×24 with 2 over flow box & stand its big . With eshop reef sump 20 gallon . Now this when I wish i could had someone with some knowledge like a place like this club. So I still had to get so many things. I told them to get was right for my tank . So they got me rio 3100 return pump . Eshop psk 200. 2 Deep blue 436 t5 . I chose to get ro/di . They made me feel like I was in good hands, so l decided to pay for them to deliver it & install it . Oh man . My stand had some nicks on it they didnt have the right tools . Never checked for leaks . The ro/di was broken . Finally they fixed it at the store. I think they gave a used one. I started filling the tank up 1/2 it took awhile & noticed the tank wasn't levelled :upset: I called them I wasn't in goodhands . :( to rap this up it was off by almost inch I levelled it my self . Put water back . Leftover night filling , woke up to leaking bulk heads thank god I put pond rubber liner on stand & stoped it before it got on carpet. :nervous they finally set some one to fix & clean up . I was so:mad: I almost gave this up. But now I'm about 4 months in I'm happy with hobby . I don't have nobody really to go to when comes to the hobby I hope I could be successful in the hobby . I live in scotch plains nj. Not sure but i was wondering if i put some pictures up of my tank if someone will be able to tell whats going on with my tank. I'm scared is something bad. Please let me know
