:
that leaves a lot open since you have the luxury of starting both the tank and its surroundings from scratch....what do you have in mind?

Re: Need all the help I can get!!!

AHhh I started that way too.... Wide open area in the basement... As big of tank as you want and build the walls around it,, Plan fish room and sink everything needed to keep it going. What size tank you thinking about?

265 Gallon Reef built into basement wall. Lighting = 6x250 watts MH, 2x96 watt PC ,and 2x140 watt VHO for a total watt of 1,972 watts . New addition on 4-14-07 of 100 gallon sump and 100 gallon refugium. I think I have lost my mind. Gotta love this hobby Vicki

Re: Need all the help I can get!!!

Welcome!

Wow what a first post!!

I think if you'll look around here you will get TONS of ideas. Here is an example of one that's just now getting started
Cioutlaws 225 gallon

and another one that's coming to maturity now
jhnrb 150 reef

and one more example (there are SO many amazing tanks chronicled on this forum) My 120 to 300 upgrade...it begins!

Good luck and take it slow.... TRIPLE your budget and space! Research research research! it will save you $$$ and heart ache in the long run.

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!

Welcome to RS!
What are you looking to do? How big. Reef or FO? etc.
Then we will be more than happy to spend your money for you.
There are a lot of lovely tanks out there. Check out the chronicles for some great ideas to help you figure out what you want to do.
