Hey everyone,

Finally getting back into the hobby after 8 years. I'm in North Carolina and getting my feet wet with a little 15g nano reef right now to ease myself back in. In the past, I jumped into the hobby in college with a 75g tank that was def a learning experience, but being in college I never gave it the attention it deserved. Unfortunately, one night the tank began leaking and was forced to have to break it down. My next tank was a 29g a few years later that went much better since I gave it more attention than previously. I also met someone in the hobby that quickly became sort of a mentor for me, but again, tragedy struck in the form of a ice storm and losing power for 24 hours. Both times owning a tank, I didn't have the proper funds to support the hobby/addiction.
This time around I am older, wiser, and in a better position to do things right. Looking forward to interacting with everyone, sharing knowledge, and engaging in great conversations.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
