Up until recently, I was completely unaware of the SD saltwater tank community. I don't consider myself a hobbyist yet. Started off with my mother giving me a 29g tank and a tomato clown that I didn't really want because I didn't think I would be interested in fish. After a couple months, I was hooked. Upgraded to a 60g long that i have now and seen below. 2 onyx clowns, flasher wrasse, and purple firefish. I only consider myself a dude with a fish tank because my setup is pretty basic, no sump, protein skimmer that hangs off the back and I get my water from a water station and mix the salt myself. I've learned some pretty expensive lessons that probably could have been avoided had I known about this forum earlier. I'm ready to take the step into the hobbyist realm here pretty soon. Looking at 150-180g tank and building it into my wall. I am also stepping into the unknown for me. Sumps, pumps, plumbing and all that, so I will be hitting all you up on here quite often in the near future! Looking forward to it.

Welcome. If you're looking for a tank still, I have one for sale. 150 gallons with a framed stand. Since you plan having it in wall, there's no need to skin the stand
