Back After 20 Year Absence

raylinds · May 2, 2019

When I lived in Florida until 1999 I had a healthy 100G reef tank. Unfortunately, when I moved back to NYC I had no room for it, so I sold it off and gave away the livestock. I recently retired early and bought a house in CT, so I am in the process of setting up a 110G tank and couldn't be happier.

A lot has changed in 20 years (and I forgot a lot), so I am spending a lot of time studying. My old tank had Metal Halides but I am embracing LED technology and already bought a Kessil AP700.

I look forward to being an active member of this board.

Cheers,
Ray

It's a lot easier now than it was back then. Internet and LED's, no more UGF and air stone skimmers. WiFi power strips a poor man's controller. Good luck!

Welcome to the reef! We came back to reefing after about 10 years and couldn’t be more thrilled. This is a great site for those of us that started over.
