    Thanks for the info. I've been wondering how many people use coolers here in the PacNW. Will I need one? Our home has central air and if it gets much over 80 we usually have it one.

    I'm looking at all of them! This is the fun part. I've found the Red Sea Max for $600 plus $150 for the stand. I'm not making my decision based on which costs less, I just want the most well-built, functional, yet attractive unit. A hundred bucks either way isn't going to sway me.

    I think I understand the size disadvantage, but I'm not willing to devote that much space to a large tank. I'm a patient guy and if it takes me six months to get my system stable before I introduce anything, I'm okay with that. I don't need a big aquarium. I was perfectly happy with my 20...

    BTW... I'm not in any kind of hurry here. This research portion could take months. I'm sure I will have tons of dumb questions and hopefully you will stop me from making some of the rookie errors. I went to a Portland store and after about an hour walked out with a book. Read a good portion...

    No basement so unless I'm going to punch a hole in a wall, I can see space is my primary limitation. If I was really serious about this, I suppose I would put the tank in the living room wall so I could have full access to the back of it from the garage. I think my wife would freak if I...

    Thanks for the input. I will visit the stores mentioned and read those books. My first decision will have to be where to put the tank because the best place for the tank isn't very large. I don't know where I could put a couple hundred gallon tank. What would be your recommendation for the...

    I've been lurking here for about a month now and I'm moving closer to getting back into this hobby. I'd like to get my first saltwater aquarium and want to do it right. That's why I'm here. I'm sure you all will be great mentors for me. Here's some background info that may help you understand...
