I kept a Berlin style reef back in the early 1990's in college with a WetDry filter, Turboflotor protein skimmer and live wet rock I order from an ad in a magazine, shipped from Fiji. And yes, I had a $20 Yellow Tang. After moving away after college, I stuck with freshwater planted tanks. Got into aquascaping, and even entered a few competitions at local expos.

Started a 60g cube four months ago and enjoying learning all the ways the hobby has changed over the past decades. Pleased to find that a lot of aquacultured animals are available now!

Wow, things have changed a lot in 30 years. Should be much easier now especially with this forum! Welcome back.
Towards the end of the 90's, I did enjoy the ReefCentral Forums but it was nothing like this!

Wow, welcome!

You must be floored at the changes that have been made.
I'm mostly blown away at the changes to the understanding behind the biology, from phyto, to pods, to chemistry, carbon dosing, aminos, etc.

But there are a whole lot more pests than there was then!
