Hello All!
Figured I would start here before getting a build thread going.
I spent 2006-2011 neck deep in the reef keeping hobby, finally being happy with a custom 36Lx30Dx22T display with a basement sump, mixed reef with 8t5’s. Then life threw some curve balls as always! Let’s just say 10 years, 1 divorce and 3 houses later I am ready to jump back in... and it is a completely changed world from where I left off!

We, (fiancé and I), decided that we need a family hobby that we can include our 7 year old son in, I took them to a couple of my old favorite stores, and it’s set, we are building a reef!

I’ll probably start with some Zoas, mushrooms, etc..... but stony corals are my weakness. Walking into Trop now vs 15 years ago was a strange experience. It’s almost exactly the same but not being able to get to the back tanks and show our boy the really cool stuff was a disappointment.
