Been working on an upgrade from my mediocre 75 gallon to this! Took me 6 months to even get a handle on the very basics of the hobby with a lot of help from here, and another 3-4 to finally get the opportunity to start! I’ve only been in the hobby since last September so just over a year. But by the first 6 month mark I was hooked and obsessing over large tanks.
I went to get a reef ready 75g to upgrade and the guy had a used 220 reef ready with stand & custom sump for 500. And that was all it took. Lol during this - I actually was moving houses too, so .. it’s been a little messy.
Included is a pic of a friend next to the tank. I live in a small town and I don’t personally know anyone else here that is into this hobby so it was quite the spectacle for people.
