Hello!
Glad to be back in the hobby!
It’s been a few years since I’ve really researched reef keeping and boy has it changed.
I started my first reef in 2007 and kept a mixed 75g reef until I had kids in 2016. Back then we were still trying to decide if LEDs were capable of keeping a reef…
Well…in 2020 my wife bought me an IM Nuvo 10 for Christmas. I happily started getting equipment together, built a stand, and got it wet. (Radion XR15g4 pro, Apex classic, and all the fixin’s)
Well since then…not a lot happened other than keeping the tank topped off and an occasional salinity check. The coated algae tank was less than appealing in the entryway of our house
Late October I took the kids to the LFS and well, it was over. The kids, and I, were re-hooked. It’s been a family event ever since.
We cleaned up the tank and started to get the tank chemistry all squared away again. About a month ago, we got our first fish and 2 weeks ago, our first corals.
I’m very excited to be back and while my tank is the smallest I’ve ever had, the challenge is exciting.
