Hello all, getting back into the hobby after 16 years. I had a really well established 120 gal that I was forced to tear down when I moved back in 2008 and never got around to setting back up. That tank is long gone now. Couple weeks ago my now 17 year old daughter says "remember that aquarium you had when I was little?... Can we do that again?"
Well, I figured we'd start small with the 20 gal I had in the basement. Already had some gear left in a box... Like heater, some plumbing, 600gph pump...
A week later we had a brand new 60gal cube and stand. It's all filled now, just waiting for the fun to begin.
And wow have things changed in the hobby since. I feel like I'm just having to toss out everything I knew and start over! Thank goodness for this forum! Looking forward to learning all the new info!
