another newbie from oklahoma

My name is Randy. I am in the process of converting a 44 gallon fw to a sw tank. I have 2 powerheads and a lifereef overflow on the way. Just order an Ocean Runner pump to be used as my return pump. The plan is to have it plumped and running with tap water in a couple of weeks. Then go from there. I will probably have a few questions from time to time.

Welcome aboard!
If you can, I would include a Reverse Osmosis filter in those plans.
It helps weed out a lot of stuff you really don't want in your reef.

Hey there Randy.

I am pretty new myself and also from Okie Country.

So hop in the boat and let's go.

Good luck with your tank

Welcome Aboard

Thanks for the welcome. I almost did a sw tank a couple of years ago but we had just started a new business and couldn't afford it. Now, I am doing odd jobs and will probably use my stimulus check and birthday money to get everything that I need. I bet I have read thousands and thousands of threads and I have 1 book. And still have questions. I do plan on getting a ro/di unit. Just not sure when.
