Hi Folks, I've been lurking around for a few weeks and figured I should finally post and say hi.
I've had various freshwater tanks growing up, and will admit it's been a decades since my last tank. But having another tank for the long run has been something that I've always wanted to have again, for myself and my family. I've had family members throughout the years with reef tanks, so I've not been too far away, just not owning one myself. So now I'm back in and jumping in head first...
I'm currently having a 260 gallon starphire tank built. It could be used for saltwater or freshwater, but I'm planning to be using it as a freshwater. I'm also having a sump built as well as a steel stand that will be powder coated. It's been a bit painful waiting for it, but taking this time to get my pumps, plumbing and thinking how I'll be wrapping the steel stand later. Most likely I'm going to go the painted MDO plywood painted with some trim molding to match my décor. I'll use magnets to keep attached.
Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself and share what got going on. Hoping to brush up and contribute where I can.
