 |  Hey from MA
Hello everyone,
This seems like an impressive site you got going here.... although according to the map I'm all alone up here in Mass. I'm new to this hobby and I must say it has completely consumed me  , I haven’t bought my own tank yet because I'm still in the researching process. As of now I'm most interested in 90-gallon reef ready tank unless you can convince me otherwise, I want to start off with a sump and refugium and the whole deal so I'm saving up my money 
My friend got me into the hobby and has 54 gallon corner.. Just got a life reef sump, noisy as hell and trying to quite it down…. I’m sure you’ll here about it! |
