I had a gorgeous 230 gallon acrylic reef tank 15 years ago. Many offered to purchase it but I refused. I came back from a family vacation, found the power had gone out and all my prize and beloved fish were belly up as were some of the coral. Devasted and getting ready to move to Ohio, I gave my tank and equipment away and am just now in a mental attitude to start over. So much has changed and I am eager to discover what modern technology and knowledge has improved. Thanks for having me in your group.

Hey! I'm not only brand new to this site, but also new to the hobby. However, it looks like you have some real experience as a reefer, so you're certainly further along than I am. Anyway, I'm just here to say hi!

Not much has changed from 15 years ago, maybe try a nano tank or something similar to get back into this hobbie?
