Merry Christmas from me to me lol.

Joining the three (that I've found) other R2R members with UNS R90 setups and using this thread to document my progress. New to saltwater but freshwater veteran, if many years removed.

After waffling between the IM 112 Lagoon and this one, I ultimately went with UNS because of the clean setup and solid build quality. No regrets.

I'm taking things nice slow while I have a couple of weeks off from work. Today I'm heading to grab some rock, mortar, and epoxy and we'll see what mess emerges.

From there, I obviously have a long list of equipment I'll be assembling over the next few weeks/months. I am open to any and all suggestions as I get my act together slowly. I haven't decided firmly on anything other than lights (Kessil A160WE Tuna Blue x2), which was the easy bit and won't be needed for a month or more anyway.

I'll update periodically in case it is interesting or helpful for others considering the system.

I have one on the way. Ever since is saw them on display at RAP Anaheim i knew if i was to get a new tank it would be an UNS (I have 3 other reefs already in play). I'm trying to decide on which skimmer to go with at the moment (have a LifeReef on my 150G currently). Have you decided which skimmer you are going with?
