After being out of the hobby for about a year I just couldn't take it anymore and had to get back in!

Started with a 40 breeder I still had but felt just a little too small so decided on a 65 gallon tall tank. No sump just gonna be a skimmer and HOB filter with chemi-pure to polish. Mainly gonna be LPS and softies eventually.

65 gallon Marineland tall tank. 36 x 18 x 25
DIY stand
70ish lbs of Caribsea Life Rock
Two ReefLED 50 led lights
Aquamaxx HOB-XC skimmer
Two MP10 pumps
BRS 200 watt heater
Ink bird temp controller
