Hello all!

Ive been looking a re-joining the hobby after a 10yr hiatus. I started 2 planted FW aquariums this last year and added a planted betta tank at the end of November.

My last tank was a Fluval Spec V with mainly LPS and inverts. I was thinking about going bigger this time, somewhere between 30 and 50gal and doing a mixed reef tank. Ive been reviewing all the requirements and have just started looking at tanks.

I'm telling myself to take it slow! So we'll see how long it takes before I have a new build thread :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Here's a picture of my original scape after cycling & prior to first inhabitants!
