Back to a reef aquarium after a 7-year detour into a planted freshwater aquarium. The first picture is my tank back in 2018 after 4 years of growth. The second picture is my current startup. Now that I am retired, I am ready to get back into reefing.

Back to reef keeping after a 7-year detour to a planted freshwater tank. Now that I am retired, I feel I have the time to jump back in. The first picture is my reef tank back in 2018. The second picture is my current startup. A long way to go but looking forward to the challenge. (btw I tried posting this info but I do not see my post, this is my second attempt. Hopefully not a duplicate).

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Are you by chance in New York? I'm near Canandaigua.
