Hi , my name is Shaun and I live in CT . I have recently decided to get back in the hobby after about a 15 year hiatus . I've been researching since January 2014 . I've purchased a 120 gallon AGA megaflow tank and have been trying to accumulate the rest of the equipment that I think I need . Man , I forgot how expensive this all is , but am extremely excited to get underway ! I believe I'm going to do fish only at this point because of the fact that a lot of the fish I want aren't reef compatible . With that being said , I'm still in the design / build stage but am moving forward . My tank is in my living room and my sump is going in the basement where I plan to make my water changes and maintenance as easy as possible with my RO/DI unit being in close vicinity to my storage containers and salt mixing tub . I recently joined Reef Central as another way of learning and gaining information for my new venture !!

Thanks
Shaun

There is a wealth of information in the stickies at the top of this forum. When you're ready to get your tank running be sure to start a thread so we can watch your progress.
