    My name is Nick and I am new to the saltwater world of about a year. My buddy introduced me to this club and I am glad that he did. I went to the local meeting for the apex controllers, was very pleased with what I learned and the people I met. I look forward to making some new friends and sharing this new found addiction. I started small with a 10 gallon ( I know I know ), but have had great success with water quality and keeping livestock/coral/inverts. I am upgrading to a 20long soon. I am limited on tank size due to my living situation, but as soon as I buy a house here in the next year I am going 200gallon+ and cant wait.

    Welcome! If you have good success with water quality in a 10 gallon you will have no problem with a 200+ gallon. Good luck!

    It was good to see some new faces at the meeting. Glad you decided to join the club. Keep us posted on the upgrade progress. We love to watch tanks evolve.

    Great lakes is a awesome tank builder. In fact they built all our tanks at Coral Haven.

    That's awesome!! You can tell they are top notch with all the upgrades and custom details you can ask for. What size tanks did they make for you and whats your favorite footprint? Might have to make a trip and check them out, Thanks for the reply
