Hi all,
Its been over a year since I've made any posts or done anything reef related. I moved last December and had a terrible time moving my tanks. All my critters were sold to our LFS to avoid any deaths. Moving in December in Wyoming is a real bummer. So I have had two empty tanks now for over a year due to working my rear off (280 days this year) and re-modeling the new house anytime I get to come home.(Wife) I have missed having my tanks up. Everything else is in order now and it's time to start a new set-up. I have my spot in the basement and a large adjoining room that already has water and a drain. I'm thinking I will setup 2 -150 or larger tanks in a "L" configuration. Everything is in the planning stages. I will try to post pics once I get into building stages. I haven't had much time to read up on anything new happening in the hobby. I'm sure much is the same. I did see that Solaris lights are getting brighter. That's good to hear. Well I just wanted to say hi again to everyone.

Welcome back! An L shaped setup sounds cool. Would you plan to tie them together through the sump?

it's gonna be a slow process. im not gonna rush anything. i've had that bite me in the past. and i have to set this up so it's as automated as possible since i'm away a lot. my wife will have to take care of it when im gone. i have been looking at some tenecor tanks. anyone have any ideas other than tenecor for acrylic tanks. i have never had one. i do want to change tanks and go with acrylic.
thanks for the welcome back and any info. Merry Christmas everyone.
