Back in the hobby after 12 years away

mb5322 · Nov 19, 2020

So after a 12 year hiatus I've decided to get back into reef keeping. Wow how things have changed. I decided to go with the Red Sea Reefer 300xl due to its ease of setup and the 80 gallon system isn't to much, while I'm trying to get things figured out. I would like some help stocking the tank, I currently have 75lbs live rock, a black snow clown and an orange snow clown. I'm looking to fill this guy out with fish, inverts, corals etc... If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear. I want to make this tank different. No offense, but typically when someone tells me they have a reef, we all know whats in it. yellow tang, hippo, cardinals etc... If money didn't matter and you could stock this tank with anything you wanted what would be your dream list? corals, fish anything, I will use this thread to pick my livestock, and keep everyone updated.
Thanks!

Welcome back! I came back after ten years and was also amazed at the changes. It is great to have a tank again. Tank looks amazing. Best of luck.
