Hi Everyone. I'm new to this forum and I have to say, I am really impressed. It actually feels familiar...looks a lot like a forum that was "central" to the hobby back in the day. (This seems much more streamlined tho!)
I was invited to introduce myself so, here goes...
I was very active in they hobby for several years but gave it up for a few reasons back in 2005. I really enjoyed the hobby but lack of time, money and space kept me from expanding the way I wanted to. I had a beautiful 75g SPS reef that was well established. Long story short, it crashed and I decided to take a break. I sold off all my stuff and put the money towards a down payment on a house.
So I recently inherited a 15gal nano reef. I was reluctant to take it at first but it belonged to a friend of mine who suddenly passed away and his family was ready to throw it out. I couldn't let that happen! It was neglected for a while and the transfer was rushed so I ended up stirring up all kinds of.... stuff.... from the bottom which resulted in an ammonia spike that was off the charts.
That was about a month ago. The tank is doing better. The zoas have opened up and are regaining their color. I had to get reinforcements for the cuc and they are now fighting a cyano outbreak.
Having to take care of this tank and watching it improve has re-ignited my interest in the hobby. As much as I would love to get a larger sized reef, this nano will suffice for now. I'm looking forward to learning from you guys and further improving this nano.
