Thank you. That is some great advice. I may take you up on your offer to see your setup. I’ll be going to MACNA next weekend. Then I’ll see what my schedule is like. I’ll PM you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

First, I don't know what to diagram as I only have beginner knowledge of what goes in the tank. I am purchasing a use 105gal reefer tank, sump, skimmer and return pump. So, the tank is already drilled. I don't have the foggiest clue as to what flows where and how. The only thing I can figure out is that the DT will have an overflow that will somehow flow to the sump. I don't know where the skimmer is placed in the line of flow. And I assume the return pump will push the water back into the DT. That's it for my knowledge. LOL What about calcium reactors, top off capabilities, other devices that add to the chain? That's what confuses me so far. I did locate a source that may work. If anyone can check it out for accuracy and comment, I would appreciate.

I'm new to the saltwater tank hobby. When I get a tank, I'm going to have to run new plumbing. Are there any diagrams or reading material that is geared to the beginner? As always, your help is greatly appreciated. Michael

Thanks. A co-worker is setting me up with a nice starter kit. 105g with sump and cabinet, Maxspect Razor LED and an Ecotech Vectra M1 pump. I just picked up three 10g tanks to be used as quarantine tanks. I'm thinking about a Reef Octopus skimmer

Welcome Lynn, I'm also new to WAMAS and Saltwater. Also just moved to Glen Burnie so my commute to BWI is really short now.

Hello everyone, I recently decided to invest in a saltwater tank after running a freshwater for the past 3 years. I will be attending MACNA next month and setting up a tank sometime in late Sept, or Oct. I will be reaching out for advice and suggestions along the way. All is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
