Hey! Been out of the hobby for about 10 years and man has it ever changed. Really excited to get rocking again. Thought I’d say hi and show off the new tank. Been cycling the water in brutes for the last 8 weeks while building it all up. Getting my apex tomorrow and a couple more lights on the way. Cable management programming and a few corals this week.

Welcome and what size is your tank? It looks pretty big.
 
It’s a 135gal with a 40 breeder diy sump. Much bigger than anything in the past. In my younger days biggest I had a 65gal tall with a 400w halide SPS and clam tank…my how things have changed. I kinda wish I went 180 already but I can always upgrade lol

Still it looks like a nice size. And you might be glad you didn't go bigger unless you have an auto water change system. You can ease back into it maybe without being overwhelmed by the maintenance and overseeing it. Me,,,my limit is a 75g, 😆.
