[BrownMarc's 40 Breeder Build]

Ah, right!   I'll go back to following, hehe!

[BrownMarc's 40 Breeder Build]

Would an overflow box be out of the question to avoid drilling? I'm sure drilling is a better option, doesn't look too hard either, but if you're hesitant or don't have the tools, you could do that too.

Thank you all for such a warm welcome!   

I should go ahead and put the disclaimer out there, I ask a LOT of questions ... half the time it's clarification cause I end up answering then arguing against my own answer... all in the same post. There's a special degree of talent in this one here. Just ya'll wait and see!    

I'll be adding to the build section soon enough. I've got a lot of clean up to do first..... no, first I need to get past this holiday! Busy weekend, hehe!  

Anywho, Happy Easter everyone!

... well, not the hobby so much!

 

Hewwo everyone!

 

I'm Zi from Silver Spring, MD. I ran across this forum a year or two ago while looking for clubs and stores in the area, but didnt join until now after a lady I purchased a light from suggested it. 

I'm not a complete stranger to aquatics, as I've had several planted freshwater tanks over the past 9 years, but jumped into the salty world after a nice Craigslist deal (entire 55 gal set up: light, filters, skimmer, sand, rocks, stand, glass lid, chemical stuffs... more stuffs for $75     I'm inexperienced, but no fool!  )  but maybe 6-8 months after starting it up, I ran into some issues and life got in the way, so the tank's been shut down for about a year after running for ... about a year. (fortunately, I followed the advice of my other aquatic friends so only lost livestock were a few "indestructible" corals and 3 snails.... but that happened before I shut the tank down!... poor things regardless  ) 

 

I dont remember what got me jump started again, but, here I am     I'd rather say "second time is the charm", not "3rd" though!

 

I'm currently in process of building a 29 gallon sump-fugium to hook onto the 55 gal display, hope to keep a low fish stock so I dont get too carried away, and I'm going to try  to purchase everything through local stores and you fellow reefers!  

 

Anywho, Happy to have finally joined, so again I say, Hewwo, Everyone!!!
