This tank will be my return to reef keeping after being out of the hobby for over a decade. My main goals are to integrate some of the new technology developed since my last reef, try keeping some new species of inverts, fish, and LPS corals, give another go at some easy SPS, and try to recreate a bommie in the Indonesian reef.
Due to current circumstances, I decided to start with a 20 gallon tank rather than setup a larger tank with all the extra work and expense. If all goes well, I will move up in tank size when the time is right, and in theory, move the Kessil along too. Ultimately, this tank may become a frag tank in a few years time. For now, I think it will be a good step back into the hobby.
