Well, it's been 30+ years since I had a salt water aquarium and I know things have greatly changed since then, so here I am, looking for all the good advice I can glean in setting up a new (to me) 55 gal. reef tank. I know I will be doing a lot of reading on this forum and will more than likely get more confused as I go along. So please bear with me when I ask dumb questions.
I guess you can call this the Diary of Greg's 55. I'll be taking lots of photos from the time I get the equipment home until it's up and running and more.
I'm not sure what all is coming with this set up but I do know the guy I bought it from had it set up as a marine aquarium but it's been sett stagnate for the last 2 months. I figure the first thing I'll do is do a really good bleach job on the tank just to make sure I kill off anything bad that might do harm to a new build. When I get the inventory I'll post a list here.
I think this thread will grow over time. I would like to get away from anything hanging over the sides and just run pipe through the glass to whatever I need in the bottom of the stand.
Thanks Greg
