Hello R2R,

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. I started my first saltwater tank back in 2010 with a Biocube 32 Metal Halide. I enjoyed it very much and had it for about 2 years. Unfortunately I had to move for work and it was a long trip in the middle of winter. Not only that it was from Florida to Chicago and I knew the odds of me successfully making that voyage with tank in tow was pretty much slim to none so I had to let it go. I was pretty close to my LFS and rather risk the lives of my much cared for inhabitants I pretty much gave it all back to them for pennies on the dollar. But at least I knew they would be well taken care of. Fast forward 6 years and having the bug since I got rid of my last tank I finally pulled the trigger. This time I went with a IM Fusion 20 for the sole purpose of it being a quarantine tank for a very near in the future custom 150 gallon (give or take) build. So wish me luck. I'm happy to meet all of you and will be posting a more detailed build thread very soon. Thanks again and happy reefing! Attached are a few pics of my old and one new. Unfortunately I did not take any day one pics of the new but here is one at 1 month. Enjoy. Any question or comments please post.

Welcome to Reef2Reef my friend . I did exactly the same thing after coming back to the hobby after 6 years and now I wonder - what was I doing without these amazing creatures for 6 years .

Be sure to check out the amazing vendors we have and soak up all the great information that thousands of reefers offer every day .

Be sure to ask as many questions as you have as no question asked is stupid and may be no one answer is perfect :)

Regards,
Abhishek
