New Tank 7*2.5*2

Post by tazman888 »

Introduction:

Since it's been pretty quiet here so i will start my journal. Have been a keen enthusiast a few years ago with Red Sea Max 130 but living in the tiny apartment with a marine tank was a nightmare.
I'm hooked again after years apart from marine after a quick visit to the 52 weeks BRS youtube video!!!! That's an absolute evil video!!! It will lead your bank account
to 0 and 0 leisure time in a very short time span. Now that I have a decent storage area in my garage, I have decided to go with Red Sea 750 which price pretty well and looks apart as well. Did the payment in May and was told it would landed in June but that did not happen. They muck up my order and my tank wasn't in the August shipment and that's the last straw for me.
With custom tank, I have the choice to decide on the size, 7*2.5*2 (starfire front and sides) fit the best for the room :) No eta yet at this stage. Hopefully next week (dreaming), the week after is probably more realistic time line.

Have a few boxes of real reef rock. Aquascaping will probably be my worst nightmare. Not too handy and not too artistic either.... might need help on that.
