Getting back into reef keeping

[Jeffrey74]

Hello everyone i am excited to get back into reef keeping. I have had many aquariums over the years. I started like most with a typical fresh water setup and went into African Cichlids. Over time I decided to start a saltwater tank. After learning from books and others in the hobby. I did make a lot of mistakes mostly from being impatient but I learned. I had a nice big tank with 15 years of corals collected. One day a friend of my stepson was over looking at the tank and while he was standing there he was also tossing a barbell bar up and catching it as it turned over. Well needless to say there was a massive tidal wave in my fully finished and carpeted basement. I lost it all, so I took a break and here I am today starting a fifty gallon cube to test the waters. A lot of changes with equipment and knowledge in the hobby has:) drawn me back.

Welcome to the R2R family! Glad your here. You should start a build thread. It’s a great way to track the progress of your tank. Make sure to add lots of pics too. This crowd loves pics!

Wow! I don't know how I would have handled that. Good luck with the new start and like Dolelo96 posted, start a build thread to let us see your progress.
