Hey everyone! I am not new to the hobby, but for personal reasons, I wasn't able to dedicate myself over the last 3-4 years. I finally had my basement finished, my man cave, so I decided that I would start over. I downsized from 220 to 125, my wife's wishes, besides I hated that 30in tall tank, it was very tough to clean. During the takedown and delays with the production of the new tank, I pretty much lost everything I had except for Powder Blue and Yellow tanks. I have made many, many mistakes in the past, mostly because I was impatient, so this time around I am double and triple-checking everything, running full quarantines, etc...I always found aquariums to be very therapeutic and I definitely need this now. This tank is a sort of memorial to my 2-year-old son who passed away last year. So I really want to make this right this time, to the best of my abilities. So, I will rely on y'all to help me out. I have a ton of questions that just continue to branch out. At the same time, I am more than willing to help anyone and share my experience with the noobies. I like I said, I have made many mistakes, but I did learn from them, so perhaps my input might be helpful.
