Hey everyone! Returning to the hobby after about a 16 year hiatus. I’m currently in the Navy and broke my last tank down prior to shipping off to basic training in 2009 (metal halides, compact fluorescents, extremely loud return pumps).
A was able to piece together all my equipment over the course of a few weeks using FB marketplace and started the cycle on June 1st 2025 using “dry rock”. Where did the Fiji live rock go lol???
The tank is a 45g JBJ rimless AIO. Anyway, just figured I would stop in and introduce myself, if you’re in San Diego- hit me up!
