Hi from Tampa

Hi Everyone, I'm just really getting into this hobby. Have had a 60gal Af. Cichlid tank for a couple years, a 30hex seahorse/pipefish tank for 1 yr, and am now setting up a 75g reef tank.
My new tank is:
75g plus 20+/-g wet/dry sump w/ bioballs,
700gph pump, 260w daylight/actinic light,
40lbs crushed coral & 40lbs live sand.
20lbs live rock (want to buy more -- looking for Tampa sellers)

I've seen a few articles about using some pvc pipe framework to hold/support the live rock. Anybody know of any sites with instructions how to do this?

Looking forward to getting my feet wet!

Jim

Re: Hi from Tampa

Welcome to RS from the other side of the state.
If you have successfully kept seahorses for a year then you are not as much of a beginner as you think you are.
Are you planning to go reef or FOWLR.
I've seen several different types of pvc work but of course I don't remember where. I'll try to find some for you.
