Getting back into the reef keeping world!

Hi fellow reefers! After about a 5 year hiatus from the reef keeping world, I'm getting back into it starting with a Waterbox AIO 35.2, which I'll create a build thread for. Previously I had mostly smaller (10-40 gallon) reef tanks for about 10 years, so I'm starting back there again. It's amazing how much the hobby has changed since I was last in it, and I'm excited to be a part of it!
Heck, the hobby has changed a lot in the last 2 weeks! It's a wild ride and I love it. Welcome!

Welcome! Glad you joined.

Excited you are already considering 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)

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