Sold a 300gal+ mixed system about 10 years ago, my new 100gal peninsula was just delivered today. I'm currently watching my bank account drain and still wondering what's wrong with me! haha :grinning-face-with-sweat:

Welcome Back to Hobby! Glad you joined. They say you can be in this hobby and still have a small fortune - you just have to start with a large fortune!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID). It's never too early to start documenting for yourself.

This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome back. I too have been away for a few years. Fortunately, I had a bunch of my previous equipment in storage so I am trying to do everything as “cheaply” as possible. Unfortunately, corals prices have skyrocketed.
