Yeah. I had a saltwater aquarium in the basement of my parents house in a small town in Sweden in the 80:s. Back then I don’t even think you could keep corals. But I had some beautiful fishes, an angel, a valentino puffer, blue tang.
Anyway decided some time ago, five years actually, that it is time again. I have a spot for an in-wall 320 liter as we say in europe. 90 gallons or so. So, I have been studying, watching videos, planning etc for some time. For some reason think it helps keep relaxed from a very stressful and challenging job. Offset difficult things with also difficult hobby. I just left planning stage to early building stage but nothing in water yet.

I have been lurking here but time to make an account I thought.
