Hello all

Hello and welcome to R2R. We sure are glad to have you here.

you're welcome love GIF
 
Just wanted to take a minute to introduce myself. I got back into reefing about 8 months ago. Had a mix reef about 13 years ago and lost everything during hurricane Ike. Wife and I talked about setting up a new tank off and on and finally decided to do it. Was on R2R back then as well but with my old email so I created this account. We will be around and of course asking questions from time to time.

Welcome and WELCOME BACK! Glad you joined. Here in Texas after last year's Ice Storm we lost a number of people in the hobby, and hoping they show some of your BBA - Bounce Back Ability!! Its a great life skill and great for this hobby - I applaud you (and hope you have at least a small generator for tank and fridge - you'll get more hurricanes eventually)

Have you considered 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:
