Well I've been out of the hobby for far too long and it looks like I've got the bug again.
My first project is with the RSM250. It's a little smaller than I'd like so I'm using this to get my feet wet again.......or hands, floor etc. haha.
The tank is being dropped off on Sunday and I'll be adding live rock/sand and water same day.
Equipment as of right now:
RSM 250 (used)
Deltec 500 skimmer (currently on route/new)
2 x Vortech MP10w ES (new)
1 x Apex gold (6 months old, purchased used for $600!)
Looking to add a Neptune feeder and doser as well as the Neptune lunar cycle module and battery backups. For now I'm going to give the bank account a rest while the tank cycles.
For live rock I managed to be at the right place (canreef classifieds) at the right time (the moment a local posted 75lb of live rock for a dollar a pound!). I did a thorough inspection for pests and came up with nothing alarming. The rocks covered in coralline growth, it was a real steal of a deal! I've found a couple harmless crabs, snails and other stow always. Should have about a third of a clean up crew.
My current vision for the tank is a hard/soft coral mix which may be a little difficult with space restraints. You all have some great examples of how to do it so I'm not too concerned.
I'll update the tread as it progresses!
