Greetings R2R members,

This is my third time starting up a marine system.

1st system(s) started in the mid 90's, consisted of multiple grow out tanks with total water volume of 150-200g. Used to frag an swap with the LFS. Shut that system down in 2001, electricity bill went down $150 a month. ;)

2nd time... 2007 started up a 20g nano. ran for about a year. A move in 2008 shut that system down.

3rd time... 2017... broke a whole bunch of crap out of storage. re-cured all my rock. turned, what was supposed to be my quarantine system into a 29g nano back in November 2017 and in the past two weeks, plumbed a 120g. Transferred my 29 to the 120 and setting the 29's back into a planned quarantine system.

Amazing where the hobby has gone in the past 18 years.

Still playing around with my aquascaping and planning on ordering about 50 more pounds.

Thanks all... Just the beginning of this long journey. Technically speaking the 120 has only been running for 16 days. Going through it's typical algae blooms, diatoms, green haze, etc. Should go quick though as all the rock has been cured for over 400 days.

All the corals seems to made the transition from the 29'r to the 120 just fine.

Going to order a clean up crew and 50# of rock from reefcleaners

Couple more fish, then continue to load it up with corals.

Sit back and watch it grow.
