I'm located just outside of Decatur, IN (bout 1hr 45min from Dayton).
Fairly new to hobby. Started researching about 2 yrs ago.. doing plenty of reading, research, etc.
Currently have stand built (in-wall) for my 150 gal RR tank. have most equipment.. just waiting on the time to start moving w/ it.

equip to date:
150 gal tank (48 x 24 x 31H)
AS 300 skimmer
2 MP40w recircs
90gal sump (I know, overkill, but bout as small as I can go that skimmer will fit into)
2 Ushio 14K 400W bulbs, galaxy electronic (dual wattage 250/400) ballasts, luminmax elite reflectors.
-- debated T5 vs MH, but w/ 31" depth, I didnt want to push my luck.
RO/DI 75 gpd


yet to acquire: return pump (sump will be in basement, one floor below tank (but will have sump elevated on stand to make it easier to work with and reduce head)), controller, heater, water storage tanks, a few additional misc items (test kits, etc).

Always looking to learn new things. Will be perusing your site often. Looking forward to meeting other folks in the hobby.

Welcome to the club!! Glad to have you here. Looks like you are planning a great tank build. Look forward to seeing some pics as you move along. We have a Frag Swap coming up in June. Check the board for location, date and time.

:Hi ya!:

Welcome! Good call doing your homework and only buying the best! Don't knock the 90g sump. I have a 29g reef that is going to be fitted with a 55 gallon sump in the very near future. Bigger is better ;)
