+Jakedoza Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'm Jake and I joined the forum yesterday. I do not own a saltwater tank, but I would like to set one up eventually. I have just set up a 135 gallon tank that will be freshwater and I have thoughts of using my 20 gallon as a reef tank, but I'm still undecided. I am looking for some lighting for my new tank and it should be complete after that. A little about me... My wife and I have just bought a new house in Leander, it is also our first house. We cannot be more excited about it.... she actually agreed to let me put a 135 in the dining room.. I am a photographer and I absolutely love it. You can check out my portfolio at http://www.jamsessionphoto.com. I also enjoy scuba diving, but have not got a good underwater rig as of yet. I am looking for a case for my 40D but it is a little out of the budget right now. I also enjoy working on my car (tuning/performance) and computer gaming, even though I have not had much time to do that. I am currently looking for a full-time job since the photo biz is not bringing in much at this time. I hope to learn a lot on here about saltwater setups and share some cool photos with you guys.

I've only been a member for a few months but I've gotten tons of great advice. Be sure to post some pics of your tanks once you get them set up!

Laura Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 If you hang around here, that 135 will be a reef tank in no time WELCOME!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarathustra2 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Yea. Save yourself the expence of setting up the freshwater tank just to tear it down in 6 months. Take the 20 and use it for a sump!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Jakedoza Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 I'd love to get that 135 going as a saltwater tank, but its just not in the budget right now after buying the new house and all. It will definitely be one one of these days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Heh, I was going to say the same thing about doing the 135 as a saltwater from the get-go But I understand about budgeting ... and bravo for taking that into account.
