Hello fellow Reefers!! back in after a 4.5 year break.

Hello everyone, As the title says I'm back in the hobby once again after 4.5 year break! I gotten bit by the bug and couldn't resist I've been doing so much research and dedicating so much time into it that we finally pulled the trigger on a RedSea Max E-260 LED Complete Reef System (69 Gal)! I was so torn between the 250 deluxe and this one... But I made my mind, bought this one and a few items to go along with it such as rock and sand. bought 40lbs of sand (Figi pink) to be exact. I am still trying to regain all my memory from the past tanks I had, but its been a while. so not sure if 40lbs is gonna be allot. it will more or less turn into a fully blown SPS tank, but for now.. LPS and ZOA dominated to start out with till I get back into everything and fully adjust. the tank should be here in about a week and a half or something of that nature since it is getting drop shipped. tomorrow I will be receiving my Marine Depot rock and other items from the UPS truck. so I will be getting started on my ROCKSCAPE I bought 100lbs just to insure myself of how much I'm gonna need to use and what I will be breaking up to turn into the AQUASCAPE!! I'm so STOKED and cannot wait till I am able to show my fellow addicted reefers such as myself. thanks for anyone who does a warm welcoming. and hello again to you all! thanks for taking the time to read my mumbo jumbo of a book right here! much love!

thanks allot guys, wow 13years! that's such a long time. but hey time is time and its great to have you back as well. this is my first redsea tank. im so nervous I feel like I've forgotten everything about the hobby. I was into high-end acros and zoas back then.. seems as if everything has changed over 5 years, I was trying to find info on this tank within the forums and cant seem to find anything helpful. have you used or know anyone who uses this tank ? idk if I made the right decision for the tank. but its on its way already and purchased so nothing I can do but shoot for the best. I will most certainly be posting tons of photos! Ill be eat, sleep and breath coral. l0l
