Welcome @MotherGoose ! That IM170 is a beautiful tank. I took a look at the photo you uploaded to your RnB profile, it looks like it has lots of room for corals. I’m glad you found RnB to help you stock it!

Welcome Paul! Glad to have you here. Looks like you have quite the setup there. Look forward to seeing more your posts here, such as your tank and corals.
Hello! My name is Jason, I have been a member since Saturday September 12 when I signed up at Aquashella in New Jersey! I own an aquarium cleaning business that I have successfully run for the last 8 years. My clientele consists of primarily freshwater clients with 2 or 3 saltwater clients. My goal is to relearn the proper way to set up and maintain a reef tank. A close friend has graciously provided a place for corals and other livestock I purchased at Aquashella until I can properly cycle and set up my tank. My hope in restarting my own saltwater system is to continue to rekindle the fire I had when I first set up a system 7 years ago and to obtain a deeper knowledge of saltwater systems in general which will also help positively influence my choices for my own tank. I can honestly say I can see a saltwater tank in my future up to and well into my retirement! Here’s to the start of something exciting!
Welcome @AAAuggie ! Thank you for signing up and glad to meet you at Aquashella! Try to start your tank with healthy live rock. It will relieve a lot of pain early on in your journey. Any other issue feel free to ask one of our Mentors!
