50 years in the hobby. used to do reefing in the power compact days and left when t-5 were cutting age technology. have lots of african cichlids but decided over the cold December days in nyc to break out the reef tank and give it a shot. have lots of old, probably outdated , equipment to go through, people gave me stuff as they moved or lost interest over the years. Starting with an aio 34 gallon red sea max i used when it was new state of the art. Main thing looking for is how people have modded this tank as i set up a bta/clownfish tank as first project.
