Hello everyone! I'm back in the hobby after roughly 5 years away. Have had the tank up and running for a few months now however it only occurred me to tonight to get back at the forums. Looking forward to connecting with some of you again, getting some frags, and always looking for advice! My last tank was 50 gallons which I honestly just kind of winged and I'm surprised I had as much success as I did. The tank I have set up now is 120 gallons which I've already put a lot more thought into, just trying to be patient while it establishes (quite difficult of course already ahead of myself with adding corals) Attached is my current tank as you can see looking pretty new and my old tank.

Welcome back! It's hard if not impossible to stay away from the salt water hobby. I, too, had a set up for 5 years then thought I wanted out, and I did want out but that didn't last long! At least coming back in I had a bit of knowledge from the first set up so getting started again was much easier, less mistakes! That's looking on the positive side, I guess! Spent much more $$$$ this time around! Not so positive!!
Anyhow, welcome back! Reach out here with questions or when looking for coral frags or anything related to reefing! You may want to consider joining CTARS and checking on the events they may have going on throughout the coming year.
Nice to see people coming rather than going!
Bill
