Welcome to the club. There are different ways people have set theirs up. I suggest searching through the DIY forum and see what others did. Find some you like and ask questions then pick the one that best fits your situation and go for it.

Hey jose, I have a place that I'm renting out in Galloway (I have my reef tank tank there), but I'm staying right now in Philly for work. Nice to see more reefers in our area. There are a few guys around us (2 in galloway, 1 in mays landing and 2 in northfield) that I know but unfortunately they don't venture in the forums as much anymore....

Hey Jose and welcome.. Tuckerton here and Im somewhat of a newb to the hobby myself (July 4th 09) all I do is read, read and read more but at end of the day you do what you think is right for you.. There are some set rules to this hobby (water parameters) but even they can vary depending what you want to keep.. but what with a refugium.. Hope this helps Part 1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxnugJGiT3o Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgNe_OYgoL8
