Back after 15 years

[Ocelaris]

Hello, just wanted to start a hello world thread. I have been out of the hobby for about 15 years and finally have the room in the basement for a tank.

I bought a SC aquarium 112 gallon (60x18x24 LxDxH) tank from someone on craigslist and have added to it. It's just out of cycling but the Pukani rock is still leaching phosphates/nitrates (decaying material in the rock).

I've got a water changing station in a remote back room and picked up a quarantine tank from a local reefer, so I'll get that set up and hopefully a few fish until the parameters are more stable. The local reefer reccomended reef2reef, so here I am! Looking forward to the journey. Bill

Thanks, I'm just fighting the pukani rock leaching organics, but hopefully get that under control in the next few weeks and I can start a quarantine tank to get some fish for my main man Austin!

I just realized that the skimmer I have is an SC-301, rated at 65 gallons... not the SC-302 which is/was supposed to come with the tank. So that's a disappointment.
