been browsing for around a month great forum lots of good reading. I was given a 72gal bow front 4 months ago it was running very well for 5 years and had 3 very large fish a hippo blue tang,black and white banner fish and a yellow tang. equipment as follows coralife 4x65 watt cf's ,prisom skimmer ,and three 802 power heads. 60#s live rock. also got 7 books on reefs .

I'm trying to turn this into a reef. I'm going slow and trying learn more about this awsome ecosytem. one ? where whould I take a tank to get drilled for refuge and/or a closed loop.

A little bit about myself married10 years(she does like the tank ) , 6month old son and live in michigan. I had many freshwater Planted tanks w/discus , chiclids but few years ago got rid of all them. I missed the hobby but now I'm back to make a dream come true ocean front property

Sounds like you have a great tank to start a reef in. If your tank is acrylic you can drill yourself. If not all I ever do is ask the local fish stores where to get my tank drilled. .

Welcome Sucker to RC, I don't know how to do the fish thing.
