Hi
New to the forum. Had a FOWLR about 12 years ago, just got the itch to get back into the hobby with the goal of a mixed reef.

Finished up my 40 breeder with diy sump and stand. Just finished up my cycle so its full of hair algae. Only critters so far are 3 hermits, 2 margaritas, an emerald crab....a mushroom coral and a cool purple and yellow zoanthid colony.

Welcome to R2R! Sharp looking tank you have there. GHA is a pain but Vibrant worked well for my minor nuisance turf algae.
 
Welcome to R2R!!! Nice looking system!
 
Welcome back to the salty side of life! Awesome looking tank. Got any stocking plans?

Oh yeah, after i round out the cuc with some astreas...i was thinking about a couple clowns, either or coral beauty or flame angel- both look awesome...also one of those 1/2purple/yellow fish i see them around quite a bit...
For the lower level i had a yellow goby before (watchman?) He was fun to watch. Also a madarin eventually- had one of those too, bought him cause the psychadelic colors were awesome, then i read up on them and after about 2 weeks traded him back to the fish store cause i figured he'd starve in my tank :(

Speaking of stocking, how do dartfish do with a wavemaker? Whenever i see them in the store they just kinda hover.
