My life has finally settled down enough to make a spur of the moment decision to get back in the hobby after disguising my intentions as a 'Christmas present for the kids'.
In the early 2000s in worked in a LFS for a few years and had some pretty impressive tanks. Now that I am back I have realized how much time has changed the hobby and there's a lot to re-learn. I've also realized that without my employee discount, things are pretty dang expensive!
My spur of the moment purchase was a used 24g, all in one cube (I forget the brand). I will be adding a small skimmer if I can make it fit and will ride this one out until I can convince the wife to splurge on a Red Sea Reefer Max 350 to use as a showcase piece in our entry way.
My plan is to have a mainly LPS and zoo/ricordia dominated tank with a RBTA and a pair of clowns.
I've set up an instagram @24gallonstofreedom and will be mostly documenting the journey on there. I will set up a build thread on here as well.
Anyway, looking forward to jumping right back in!
