Making room.

I finally pick up the tank this week.
A 65 gallon "reef ready" tank. It is official. I am committed. Thanks to Mimi, Sara, Beth, Tom. It is a great gift idea to celebrate my 50th.

Now I have to decide were to put it. My office at home is the natural choice.
Dimensions: 36" long X 18" wide.
My office was cluttered to say the least. I spent most of the day on Saturday cleaning and moving a book case.



Now I am putting togeather my shopping list for needed equipment. I need the following items.
  • Protein skimmer. (read bubble filter)
  • Tank heaters.
  • pump. Creates water flow in the tank.
  • External sump/filter. It is called a refrugium.
  • Return water pump from sump to the tank.
All this before I add water.
I am having fun reading about the technology and planning the system. There is a lot to learn and lots of fun to be had!

Thanks Kids!
