Nice looking tank!

Good local community for info/sales if you are willing to travel. @frank180reef is a sponsor and goes to western MA at times so check out his forum. @dz6t is another sponsor and has an awe inspiring set up in his basement. Worth the trip out this way now and then :)

Nice to see organized local support.. and a lot of pages on build threads.. Shout out ct salt creeps. :p

Welcome to Boston Reefers Society @RichtheReefer , good looking tank you got there.
Thanks man. Learning curve. But I'm getting the hang of things now. Always learn more when you build it yourself. Drilling was nerve racking though. I converted from canister and hob fuge/skimmer to brutes and drilled it in my living room.

Seems alot of stuff happens in the shore. Naturally. I'm about 2 hours away. So I dont go east much. North more. In winter :)

Forgot to include a sump and controller cabinet pics...

Clip on whites for pics.

Only been reefing 18 months.
Started with a 55g and a canister & hob's. That lasted 5 months and I found the 125g u see above.

This started in a barn in Warren, ma. Was an African psychllid tank (I dont care how u spell it fw is merrr ;) ) full of bird feces to rat nests. Gas cans below and a snowblower motor block. Was in sad shape.

Heres the day I picked it up...

Thanks for the welcome.

Just started the process of converting from show tank, to grow tank. Custom t5 modification to the canopy to swap out the led strips in the works. Just gotta sell some stuff first.
